OHanami CULTURE in Japan

"Ohanami or hanami" means by a word "looking  flowers" in Japanese. It means a party under or near the cherry blossoms which many people in Japan do in spring.

 

In the ancient Japan, "flower" meant plum "Ume" which blooms usually before cherry. Later on, it became "sakura/cherry" and now cherry flowers are symbols used in many parts of Japan society.

 

People go out to some park where the cherry trees blooming and put some picnic sheet with some snack, drinks (alcohol !). 

 

Please do NOT

1) break and take away the tree branches

2) litter

3) have a party where not authorized/allowed (if you see no sign, it means "not allowed" !)

4) drink too much (just dangerous, haha)
