Hanami

Hanami is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers,
"flower" in this case almost always meaning cherry blossoms ("sakura") or (less often) plum blossoms ("ume").
From the end of March to early May, sakura bloom all over Japan.
The blossom forecast is announced each year by the weather bureau, and is watched carefully by those planning hanami as the blossoms only last a week or two.
In modern-day Japan, hanami mostly consists of having an outdoor party beneath the sakura during daytime or at night.
Hanami at night is called yozakura.

The food at a Hanami party can be very different.
Traditionally the guests take Bento Boxes to the party, but also international food.

Cherry and her friends have a lot of fun.
