In
Japan, there are four seasons in a year, so we can
see many kinds of flowers each season. The best one
among them would be the season of cherry blossoms.
At the beginning of April, cherry blossoms are in
full bloom.
At
this time, the weather reporters inform us of a
cherry blossom front which comes up from the south
to the north and tells us when would be the best
time for seeing cherry blossoms.
Then
we go not only to appreciate the cherry trees, but
also to make a big picnic party under the cherry
trees. It is called "O-hanami" in Japanese.
It is also an especially wonderful sight to see
cherry blossoms at night.
