   The beginning of spring (March-April) is a very special time in Japan, because this is when Japan’s famous cherry trees come into flower. The Japanese celebrate this happy time with festivals and flower-viewing parties.

   At the end of winter, everyone’s excitement starts to grow. The Whole country wants to know the exact day when the cherry flowers (‘sakura’) will appear. Starting in February, weathermen try to guess when this day will be.

   When the first flowers open on trees, national joy breaks out! There are rides and games for children in the street, music and dance performances, tea ceremonies, flower displays, and much more. But the most special thing that people do at this time is have ‘hanami’ parties. Hanami means flower watching. In hanami parties, families and friends take a picnic and go and sit under a cherry tree to look at and admire the flowers. Hanami parties take place during the daytime and also at night, because when it is dark, lights  light up the cherry trees.

   Hanami is very important to Japanese. Cherry blossoms appear on trees for only one week before they fall to the ground and die, and for the Japanese this symbolizes the short nature of childhood and life. So hanami is a time when people like to think about how important life is.
