Hanami A Flowering Celebration!

 The beginning of spring (March/April) is a very special time in Japan, because this is when Japan's

 famous cherry trees come into flower.

The Japanese celebrate this happy time withfestivals and flower-viewing parties.

At the end of winter, everyone's excitement starts to grow.

The whole country wants to knowthe exact day when the cherry flowers ('sakura') will appear.

Starting in February, weathermen try to guess when this day will be.

When the first flowers open on the trees, national joy breaks out!There are rides and gamesfour children in the street, music and dance perfomances, tea ceremonies, flower displays, and much more. But the most special thing that people do at this time is have 'hanami'parties.

hanami means flower watching.Hanami means flower watching/ In hanami parties, families and friends take a picnicand go and sit under a cherry tree to look at and admire the flowers. Hanami parties takeplace during the daytime and also at night, because when it is dark, lights light up the cherrytrees.

Hanami is very important to the Japanese. Cherry blossoms appear on trees for only oneweek before they fall to the ground and die, and for the Japanese this symbolises the shortnature of childhood and life.

So hanami is a time when Japanese people like to think abouthow important life is.
