Cherry blossoms, also known as sakura in Japanese, are flowering cherry trees most commonly associated with Japan. These delicate pink or white flowers bloom in spring and are celebrated worldwide for their beauty. The blooming of cherry blossoms is often seen as a symbol of renewal and the fleeting nature of life, as the blossoms only last for a short period before falling. In Japan, cherry blossom viewing, or hanami, is a popular tradition where people gather in parks to appreciate the flowers.
