Do you know "Hanami"?

It is spring in Japan.
It's big cherry trees.>













A lot of Japanese goes "Hanami" when becoming this time.

("Hanami" is to see the cherry blossoms and to drink "Sake" or to eat Box lunch called "Bentou")


You might be seemed "Is such a thing done with what?".


There is "The season changes." in a Japanese mind.

And,

"It enjoys momentary beauty. "


Perhaps,
It is maybe the same as the mutability called "Muzyou" that exists in the mind of the zen.

Thus, to Japan,
there is a culture when it takes the place and going is beautiful.

Like,

"Beauty of fireworks at moment."
"Change of flow in river."
"Change of and trees."

etc.

If it wants to understand the culture of Japan,
it is served to understand it.

I have always wanted to see Cherry blossoms in Japan. But never could make it. But this time I am definitely going to Japan just to see them and also drink "sake".
