Hanami

Sakura (cherry blossom) is one of the trademark of Japan. Even my mother wish to come and see sakura blooming season. The best thing about this flower is that it only blooms in between two weeks time in early April. The whole Japan will be like full of flowers during that time.

And as Japanese is a population who appreciate nature so much, they even have a festival like activity during cherry blossom season, 'hanami'. Every group such as families, office mates, laboratory mates will have outside parties under the sakura trees. It is beautiful sight to see and eventually to join a society who knows to appreciate nature. Quite different from what people used to tag Japanese, workaholic type of person that doesn't care a single soul.
