Commentary on Sakura in Japan!! The flower is a flower that symbolizes the Japanese people.

Sakura is a symbol of the Japanese mind.
I will explain its characteristics and the culture of “Ohanami”.
Hello everyone of Japan lovers.
Thank you for always loving Japan!  !!

What are the representative flowers of Japan?
f you ask such a question, many people will imagine cherry blossoms.

Sakura, the representative flower of Japan And Sakura is loved by Japanese people‼︎

Even if you don’t ask such a question, many people think of cherry blossoms in their image of Japan.
Sakura is deeply related to the history of Japan and has been loved by the Japanese.

This time I would like to talk about cherry blossoms in Japan.
There are 10 varieties of cherry blossoms in Japan, and there are more than 100 varieties when they are subdivided.

And the most famous cherry blossom variety in Japan is Someiyoshino.  It is distributed all over Japan.
The characteristic is that the flowers are light pink, and the flowers are scattered all at once in about a week after they are in full bloom.

The situation is called (Sakura Fubuki).
It means a snowstorm of cherry blossoms.
This Sakura Fubuki can be said to be a beautiful sight that represents Japan.

A magical formula that predicts when Sakura will bloom‼︎

The flowering time of the cherry blossoms is determined by the temperature of the year.
There is a law of 400 degrees in predicting the blooming of the cherry blossoms.

First, the average temperature is added every day from February 1st.
And it is a law that it blooms when the total reaches 400 degrees.
The accuracy of this law seems to be good, and it is used in the flowering forecast of the Japan Meteorological Agency.

“Sakura Front” In Japan’s weather forecast, the flowering forecast of Sakura in each region will be broadcast‼︎

Therefore, the flowering time is different in the north and the south of Japan.
This year’s flowering time is in late April in Sapporo, Hokkaido.

 It was mid-three in Fukuoka, Kyushu.
There is a difference of about one month.
This is called the Sakura front.If you travel with this cherry blossom front, you can enjoy cherry blossoms from all over Japan for a month.
I want to make such a trip someday.
The cherry blossom forecast is important information for Japanese people.  Sakura is loved by Japanese people that much.

Japan’s unique and wonderful culture “Ohanami”

Do you know that there is a culture called Ohanami in Japan?
Enjoy drinking alcohol and eating lunch under the cherry blossom trees.
It’s also an event for friends, family and company.

The history of cherry blossom viewing is said to be an event started by aristocrats in the Nara period more than 1200 years ago.
At first, it was a plum tree instead of a cherry tree.
And it was in the Edo period that cherry blossom viewing became popular.
Shogun Yoshimune instructed him to plant cherry blossoms in the riverbanks and mountains around Edo Castle.
It became a famous place for cherry blossoms and the people can see the cherry blossoms.
The place is still famous for cherry blossoms.

Also, in the Meiji era, the policy of planting Yoshino cherry trees all over Japan increased the number of cherry trees, and the cherry blossoms permeated the hearts of the Japanese people.

Summary

The four seasons are clear in Japan, and the Japanese have long enjoyed the changing nature of flowers and trees.
Japan is blessed with four seasons, which is a symbol of Japanese beauty.

I would like to continue to disseminate it in the future.
Among them, cherry blossoms are an important event for Japanese people.

I would like to explain the reason in my own way.

There is a word (hakanai) in Japanese.

The meaning is that it disappears quickly.
However, for Japanese people, this word is often used as a beautiful word.

When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, they will fall apart in an instant.
Therefore, the word (hakanai) applies to cherry blossoms.
I think that’s why it fits the Japanese mind.
Why is this word used as a beautiful word?
That is because I imagine the story before it disappears.

Sakura is (hakanai)
In other words, the cherry blossoms lived hard on rainy days, cold and hot, and bloomed for a moment.  It means sad but beautiful.
The word (hakanai) is such a deep word.

The word (hakanai) is often used in human life.
Human life is (hakanai)
In other words, although it was fun and painful, I worked hard to live.  However, human life is short.Sad but beautiful.

It means that · · ·
I think the Japanese sense and cherry blossoms are very compatible and loved.
