Sakura Season in Japan — When the Country Pauses for Beauty
As spring arrives, Japan transforms — cherry blossoms bloom everywhere, symbolizing the fleeting beauty of life.
It’s not just a natural phenomenon, but a deep cultural ritual filled with meaning and emotion.
A few interesting facts:
— Blossoms last only 7–10 days, and that's what makes them magical
— The tradition of "hanami" means gathering with loved ones to admire the blossoms
— The blooming starts in the south and moves northward:
— Okinawa in late February
— Hokkaido by early May
The most famous variety is Somei Yoshino: pale pink petals that appear nearly white in full bloom
Petals fall like springtime snow,
Gone without a trace, they go.
In each bloom a moment stays,
More than years, it steals our gaze.
Gone without a trace, they go.
In each bloom a moment stays,
More than years, it steals our gaze.
Cherish the moment — that’s where the present truly lives.
