I went to see the cherry blossoms at a near park
with my family.
The cherry blossoms were almost in full bloom.
It was fine weather, and the wind was warm and soft.
There were many visitors, and they ate and drunk
under the cherry blossoms.
I and my family ate a handmade lunch, and drunk
non-alcohol beer of KIRIN Co.
This beer is non-alcohol, but the taste is like
real beer. Of course real beer is tastier.
It is a kind of feeling. Anyway there are many
other pretty flowers in this season.
Japanese people usually go out to see
only the cherry blossoms with their family or friends,
and they eat, drink and sing.
Why only the cherry blossoms?
The cherry blossoms are beautiful, but they drop
rapidly by wind or rain.
The beauty is fragile.
Japanese people tend to be ambiguous, that is,
we don't like to stickle.
The beauty of the cherry blossoms is fragile,
and so Japanese people may be attracted to
the cherry blossoms.
But I don't know the true reason.
Is it DNA of Japanese people?
If it is DNA, I can't understand the true reason,
because it is not a matter of intelligence.
Anyway it is sure that Japanese history has
an important role.

Have you heard the saying, 花は桜木、人は武士 ?
I really like this saying. For me it sums up the spirit
of the martial arts. i.e. in the same way as a cherry
blossom falls from the tree, a martial artist will act
without hesitation.
I don't really know why the cherry blossoms are so
important to the Japanese....maybe it's because
after a long and cold winter, they are the first
promise of warmer days.

The funny thing about cherry blossoms is they always bloom just a little too soon. I took a walk through the park this weekend, and there were a lot of groups out having barbecues but everyone was wearing coats. 
But when you think about it, you don't really need cherry blossoms to have a hanami - everyone is too busy drinking and eating to look at the flowers anyway. I think the only magic of cherry blossoms is that they won't wait for you. Roses are just as beautiful, but nobody goes out and has a rose-watching party - you could do that any time, so nobody gets around to it.
(This is the point in the narrative when a college textbook would bring up ものの哀れ, so I'll stop there...)

In japan, people love the cherry. It is the season of the cherry again.But it means that the cherry would fall again.The cherry's blossoming and falling are normal.just like the people's life.I consider that why the Japanese love cherry so much.The reason is that they like people who usually try their best.
It is the sixth year for me in Japan.Looking back the past and looking forward the future.looking the life of people around of us.I have a question...Every life ,every style?We want to go on ourselves' way,but finally looking back what kind of way we have gone?Compare with the other's? Why we usual care of that how people judge us?Is it the life of our or the other'?
Running and running,and just running.Maybe that is the life of people.Somes have their targets.Some try to run faster than
others.Somes just keep run but do not know where would be the end.Somes run with the familes.Somes run alone.Somes
run ...... the same thing is that we all run.

i think there are some reason the japanese love cherry blossoms.
we have special feeling about it.
its truth.
but now we dont care about reason actually.
its so simple,i can guess they need just opportunity to drink and eat lol
and cherry blossoms is best flower,when they think that way.
because it blooms in short term and sooooooo beautiful.
if we hang out and eating food and drinking,when any flowers bloom.
how many times we gotta do lol
its not so complex but easy.
the cherry blossoms is beautiful
so we wanna go out and drink and eat,watching it.

>in answer to ts's post,
according to a recent television broadcast and interviews with 70 people from foreign countries, hanami is exclusive to Japan. (Sorry I dont remember the name of the programme.)
And I also wonder why it is Sakura that are so attractive to the Japanese. The short time they bloom, its delicateness or maybe it's what they represent. They bloom when students are graduating. Maybe they symbolise change. But I'm not sure.

I used to feel sad when the wind would blow & the petals would blow away. I felt the moment was being taken away. This year I understood. It's the best time & so beautiful. The moment was caught & enjoyed with friends & not lost as I will always remember the good times we had.
Happy Cherry Blossom Season everyone!!
Happy Cherry Blossom Season everyone!!
