Cherry Blossoms Festival

Cherry Blossoms Festival :)

The cherry blossom (sakura) is Japan's unofficial national flower. It has been celebrated for many centuries and holds 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.

 
The cherry blossom festival start on January untill on May every years. The cherry blossoms always bloom in the short term,only 7 days.
