Cherry Blossom Viewing(3)
Annually the Meteorological Agency announces the coming of spring by ‘the flowering dates of cherry blossoms’ which are generally connected with line in a map called ‘Sakura Zensen’ (cherry blossom front).
InSapporothe cherry blossoms come out in early May.
The cherry trees are in full bloom.
Maruyama-koenParkin Chuo Ward,SapporoCity: the most famous cherry blossom viewing spot inHokkaido.
It looks like cherry blossom-viewing season is at an end in this year.
The cherry blossoms only remain for a few days.
This causes people to associate the changes in human life with the blossoms.
These short-lived cherry blossoms also symbolized the ideals of Japanese militarism that glorified death in battle during the war.
Death in battle, which was likened to the falling cherry blossoms, was regarded as beautiful at that time.
