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 with
festivals and flower-viewing parties.
At the end of winter, everyone's excitement starts to grow. The whole country wants to know the
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 starts.. There are rides and games for
children in the streets, music and dance performances, 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. In hanami parties, families and friends take a picnic and go and sit under a
cherry tree to look and admire the flowers. Hanami parties take place during the daytime and
also at night, because when it is dark, lights light up the cherry trees.
