Japanese. There are over 200 varieties throughout Japan.
The most well known kind is ‘Somei Yoshino’ with pale pink
blossoms which bloom and fall about a week before leaves
come out. Many Japanese have gatherings under the blossoms
with their own drinks and food, even dancing and singing after
few drinks of sake. ‘Yama-zakura’, wild cherry trees, ‘Yaezakura’,
double-flowered cherry trees and ‘Shidare-zakura’, weeping
cherry trees, are also well known.

Japan Meteorological Agency announces a forecast of
predicted dates of cherry blossom blooming dates on the
first Wednesday in March each year. They usually start blooming
in Kyushu in mid March but in Hokkaido they don’t bloom until
some time in May.

Cherry blossoms are used for Japanese sweets and their tea

is served especially at happy occasions. Their picked leaves
are also edible and used to wrap
sakura-mochi. Cherry trees are
often used to make small containers
for tea leaves and ornaments, and barks
are also used for ornaments, as
well as Chinese herbal medicine.

Sakura is often used in emblems by many schools and
institutions including Japanese Police and Self-Defense Force.

The famous spots for viewing ‘sakura’ can be found at
