Description
According to the book titled “Sakura” by Toshio Katsuki (2015), the custom of cherry blossom viewing in Japan dates back to the Nara Period (710–794).
The darker pink petals of the Kawazau-Zakura variety are the first ones to bloom and last for about a month. These beautiful petals assure us that spring is indeed just around the corner and that the cold days of winter will give way to warm weather and rebirth across the landscape.
