In Japan, many people feel that spring has come when the cherry blossoms bloom.
Around the end of March, the cherry blossom forecast is announced on the TV news, and everyone starts making plans for flower viewing.
In the parks, people spread mats under the cherry trees and gaze at the blossoms while eating bento with family and friends.
The blossoms scatter in about a week, but some people say it is precisely because they are short-lived that they are beautiful.
The way the petals dance in the wind looks just like snow.
