Cherry blossom is the most popular and most loved flower.

Cherry blossom flower makes full bloom before the leaf goes out.

The state of “The flower blooms where there is nothing” leads to one colored flower over a side of the tree, and that is a very splendid scenery.

The short-lived and graciousness of Cherry blossom that scatters immediately (The flower will scatter 1~2 weeks from the blooming), after blooming at a dash in the beginning of spring once in a year, is liked very much, and can be taken as the symbol of the spirit of Japanese persons.

The full-bloomed Cherry blossom can be seen during the spring even at London, New York, Washington, Australia, and New Zealand.

 They are planted as the commemoration of friendly relation with Japan.

Starting from the blooming condition seen from the entire tree, the flowering condition at 3 minutes blooming, 5 minutes blooming, 6 minutes blooming, full boom, start of scattering are reported in the television and newspaper etc.

Making such a detailed report of the status of many trees is seen an unusual example by everyone in the world.

When there is full-bloomed Cherry blossom, family and friends gather under the Cherry blossom tree,

a party called as “Cherry blossom viewing” is held.

With the custom of “Cherry blossom viewing”, there are popular venues of cherry blossoms in various places throughout Japan.

The places where lots of Cherry blossoms are planted such as the Shinto shrines and temples hold the cherry blossoms festival.

To enjoy Cherry blossoms at night, the illumination of cherry blossom trees are done at various places.

I hope that you can enjoy the “Cherry blossom viewing” of cherry blossoms with the photos here.

Moreover, the Cherry blossoms at the night are different from the daytime, and are beautiful.
