The festival during which Japanese people celebrate by viewing cherry blossoms is known as Hanami. This annual tradition occurs in the spring when cherry trees bloom, typically in late March to early April. Families and friends gather in parks to have picnics under the blooming trees, enjoying the fleeting beauty of the blossoms. It symbolizes the transience of life and nature, highlighting Japanese appreciation for beauty and the changing seasons. Hanami captures the essence of celebration and reflection in Japanese culture.
