I love the Cherry Blossom .
With a Japanese person , Sakura flower ( cherry blossom ) is as the national flower and it symbolize for the mind , the love and the elevated .
Sakura means the Life is short because the flowers fall down very quickly after they bloom. And in an ancient era, the Sakura is the symbol of a Samurai's spirit . So we can say " A flower is a cherry blossom, a person is a sakura "
The Sakura usually blooms from March to April . Japanese people gather under a sakura tree and drink the Sake wine, singing and chatting together . They want to relax , get out of stress in their life or work and enjoy the beauty of Sakura . And this festival is called Hanami ( flower viewing ).
And this kind of food is made of rice with sakura leaf . It looks so delicious!!!
And when you are in a Japanese park whick sakura trees are in full bloom, you can feel that you're among the big pink clouds. Like in a heaven .
