W E - Part III - Sakura











Japanese cherry blossoms, known as Sakura are Japan’s unofficial national flower. The blooming of these blossoms has been celebrated for many centuries and has been a very prominent part of the Japanese culture. There are a wide variety of cherry trees in Japan, most of which bloom for a couple of days in spring.
The Japanese celebrate this time of the year with ‘Hanami’ that is cherry blossom viewing parties right under the blooming trees.
Cherry blossoms symbolize the transience of life because of their extremely short blooming duration. Falling blossoms are considered to be metaphors for fallen warriors who died bravely in a battle.
