Japanese Hanami Culture
When spring arrives, a traditional event called "hanami" is held throughout Japan. Hanami refers to the custom of enjoying and appreciating cherry blossoms. It typically takes place from late March to early April, with many people gathering in parks and along riverbanks.
The history of hanami dates back to the Heian period (794-1185). At that time, nobles would hold banquets while admiring the cherry blossoms. During the Edo period (1603-1867), the practice spread to the common people, evolving into the form we see today.
In modern hanami, people spread out sheets under cherry blossom trees and enjoy bento boxes and drinks with friends, family, or colleagues. At night, lanterns are lit, and many people enjoy viewing the cherry blossoms illuminated in the evening.
For Japanese people, hanami is an important event that celebrates the arrival of spring and symbolizes new beginnings. It's also popular among foreign tourists, attracting attention as an opportunity to experience Japan's beautiful culture.
