When spring comes a lot of Japanese people enjoy their beloved cherry blossoms. From below the trees they watch the cherry blossoms together with family, friends, and lovers.
The history of ohanami (cherry blossom-viewing) is old and began about 1200 years ago. The cherry tree only blossoms for a short time, and once it has reached full bloom, its leaves will shortly scatter. This transience is also a part of the cherry blossom's charm. On the cherry blossom whose leaves have scattered, young leaves will start to grow and you can feel the beginning of new lives.
The cherry blossom is also a Japanese symbol. To watch the cherry blossom that Japanese people keep in their hearts, we recommend Nordic & Japan.
