Japanese

平安時代の国風文化の影響以降、桜は他の植物とは一線を画す特別な存在であり続けている。
木々は街路、公園、河川敷、学校内など日本全国至る所に無数に植えられており、開花期間には街中の風景が激変する。
桜の名所には多くの人々が訪れ、時には宴会を開くという風習も1000年以上続いている。
地域差や品種差はあるが、概ね開花している期間は例年3月下旬から4月上旬だ。
春の訪れと共に一斉に咲き競い、僅か2週間程度で潔く散るその花の姿は、人の命の儚さに例えられ、日本人の人生観の一部にもなっている。

Innumerable cherry trees are planted everywhere such as streets, parks, riverbeds and around the schools all around the country in Japan, so the scenery in the city change drastically during the season.
A lot of people visit the famous places for its cherry blossoms, and they sometimes have customs of drinking party that have been over 1,000 years.
It is about from late March through early April every year during blossoming period but there are differences of areas or varieties.
They bloom at the same time when spring comes, then they fall off in about just two weeks gracefully. The appearance like that is compared to the fragility of life, and it is a part of the outlook of Japanese lives.
