Every Japanese person must have a photo taken in front of a cherry blossom tree. Our lives and cherry blossoms are inseparable.
Many haiku poems in Japanese poetry have cherry blossoms as their theme. This is because cherry blossoms are a very special flower for Japanese people. Matsuo Basho, a poet of the Edo period, wrote this haiku.
さまざまのこと思い出す桜かな
Samazama no koto omoidasu, Sakura kana
花の雲鐘は上野か浅草か
Hana no kumo, Kane wa Ueno ka Asakusa ka
しばらくは花の上なる月夜かな
Shibaraku wa hana no ue naru, Tsukiyo kana
The first poem is translated into English as follows. Cherry blossoms stir Recollection of many things, Ah, the sakura!
The second English translation will be like this. Clouds of flowers, bell rings, Is it Ueno or Asakusa?
And the third one. For a while, Beneath the moonlit blooms, we find our repose.
Cherry blossoms in Japan begin to bloom at the end of March. Once it starts blooming, the flowers fall off within a week. However, because there are differences in temperature and temperature depending on the region, cherry blossom season in northern regions is in the second half of April.
Japanese elementary schools hold entrance ceremonies in early April. Many elementary schools had cherry blossom trees planted in their schoolyards. Therefore, many Japanese people have memories of entering elementary school while looking at cherry blossoms. This is why we often took pictures in front of cherry blossom trees when we were children.
