Spring is the season of cherry blossoms in Japan , and it is simply beautiful! Delicate and colorful , with shades of pink is one of the phenomena of nature that I'd really like to witness .
In Japanese culture , the flowering of this tree is the most considered manifestation of beauty, although it is little florida time because they fall very quickly and are spread by the wind. In Japan, the cherry blossom is known as Sakura and represents the Samurai class, which believes in the transitory nature of existence. For the Japanese , this Asian origin flower symbolizes nobility and fertility and there are more than three hundred varieties of cherry trees.
The cherry trees began to bloom on Monday in Tokyo, according to Japan's Meteorological Association, which found five flowers open in a sakura standing at the Yasukuni shrine.
Flowering cherry trees already started in Fukuoka and Nagoya (Aichi) on Saturday and also in Gifu on Sunday, just the official start of spring. The flowers are open in other provinces in the coming days.
In Tokyo, the sakura buttons opened five days earlier than previous years.
The Association usually announce the beginning of flowering in a particular region based on someiyoshino species, which is the most common in the country. The petals are slightly pink and little resistant to adverse weather conditions such as wind and rain.
The opening of the first flowers of a cherry tree shows that the season started, but it can take a week to 10 days until the tree becomes all florida.
The time of flowering cherry trees depends on the weather, so the forecasts can change from one region to another.
