Japan enters a series of cherry blossom blooming waves from south to north starting in March. Taking this year as an example, from March 2 to April 23 is Japan’s famous national cherry blossom festival. In particular, Japan has a special geography of being long and narrow from north to south, and the Japanese specially design a cherry blossom line system every year. As the weather gradually warms over time, cherry blossoms across Japan will gradually bloom from south to north as the warm climate moves northward.

Cherry blossoms represent life, passion, purity, and nobility, and are also a symbol of love, romance, and hope. The flower language is life, smiling at you, beauty of spirit (mountain cherry), the education of kindness (Western cherry), the mystery of the East (winter cherry), quietness and purity (double-flowered cherry), youth (primrose), and purity, nobility, and detachment (mountain cherry).
