The cherry blossom (sakura) is Japan's unofficial national flower. It has been celebrated for many centuries and takes
a very prominent position in Japanese culture.
There are many dozens of different cherry tree varieties in Japan, most of which bloom for just a couple of days in
spring. The Japanese celebrate that time of the year with hanami (cherry blossom viewing) parties under the
blooming trees.
