Haiku. Yosa Buson (1716-1784)
It happened earlier than expected by the urgencies of heat. This year the "delivery" was brought forward and there we were trying to understand flowers and branches turned into culture.

There was always a pending scene conversation who are from time to time and their tasks are recounted in the absence. City, the cities, zealously they seemed to respect the rule breached in many places not to pester natural beauty with man appearing. And we, the remainder, We limited ourselves to enjoy this spectacle called Hanami consisting see calve million trees, cerezos, white and pink flowers on streets, parks, broken, slopes, rivers and even roofs. Everything was white and red. Everything, to our eyes.
I take a blog, Japonismo, an extensive and detailed collection of information on Japan to constantly use on the trip and since VaP recommend to anyone traveling to the Empire of the Rising Sun, Hanami history.
In those times, when people thought they were gods within the trees, the cherry tree was used as a method to guess crops, making offerings to these gods assumptions were made
As for the tradition of viewing the cherry blossoms, we must go back to the Nara period (710-784) when the Japanese took Chinese culture the pleasure of seeing the flowers. At that time the plum blossom was the most admired, thing that changed in the Heian period (794-1192), when the cherry gained more prominence, to the extent that the literature of the time was common synecdoche to use the word "flower" to refer to "cherry". In those times, when people thought they were gods within the trees, the cherry tree was used as a method to guess crops, making offerings to these gods assumptions were made. Was Emperor Saga (786-842) taking this tradition who decided to organize parties under the cherry trees of the Imperial Palace,, yes, were reserved for members of the Court only. Eventually the custom spread to samurai and finally, in the Edo period (1600-1868) it became a popular celebration spreading to the rest of the population».
The philosophy and meaning that give the Japanese to this ritual is in this case that makes Wikipedia a beautiful summary:
"In Japan, cherry blossom (and to a lesser extent Plum) They have an important meaning. This relates to part of the samurai code. Is, the emblem of the samurai warriors was the cherry blossom. The aspiration of a samurai was dying at the time of maximum splendor, In the battle, and not grow old and "withering", as does the cherry blossom withers, which falls from the tree before wilting wind-driven. Addition, there is a legend that the Sakuras initially were only white, but the seppuku (ritual suicide to avoid disgrace) a samurai or a member of his family committing used to perform in front of a cherry tree. Therefore, According to the story, cherry blossoms began to turn pink, because of the blood that the tree absorbed”.
According to the story, cherry blossoms began to turn pink, because blood absorbing tree
Tokyo saw the first cherry trees near the Buddhist temple Senso-Ji, but it was in Ueno Park, two kilometers away, where we saw the largest number of cherry trees and the ritual of thousands of people sitting down to eat with family, friends and co-workers under thousands of white branches. Search, Hanami is also seen in the Yanaka cemetery where the graves mixed with cherry. Other beautiful places to see the Cherry Blossom (cherry blossom), I would say where we liked in the capital, son el parque Shinjuku Gyoen y Nakameguro. The first is a beautiful park, Japanese style and English, where white and pink cherry and plums bloom between manicured pastures; while the second is a river channel in an area of beautiful shops and small restaurants where the branches make a thick canopy over the waters.
Outside Tokyo, cherry blossom haphazardly as the heat arrives. In the north takes longer for lower temperatures, but we took trains to Takayama and then down to Kyoto, We saw rows of cherry trees especially in the riverbanks.
in Kyoto, Hanami contemplated in Shoseien Garden, in the park surrounding the Imperial Palace, night in Maruyama Park, where a large cherry tree surrounded by dozens of small food stalls lights, and especially in Kiyomizu, a beautiful temple perched on a hill where the cherry trees bloom between a lush forest. We do not take in any case the tram Randen, an old wagon wandering on a stretch of 200 meters in lush cherry trees and is one of the typical pictures of Sakura (cerezo) in Japan.
Finally, It was especially singular view hanami in Hiroshima. Just between the memorial and the Stock Exchange, become a symbol of the atomic bomb dropped by the United States as the only center of the city that remained standing, there are hundreds of cherry trees along the river where thousands of people sat eating. Right there, where man demonstrated how miserable can become an annihilating blow 140.000 People, cherry reminds us that whatever we do, although we try hard otherwise, Life always wins.
