I loved reading about Japan and other eastern countries ... It used to be adventure stories, sometimes about warriors, but everywhere history, customs, beliefs appear ... In one story, "sakura" appears as an amulet ... It is clear from the story that it is a cherry blossom, but I could never imagine that beauty ....
Now I was lucky enough to come across a row of Japanese cherry trees in the town of Vršac (Banat, Serbia)
I was in this street for the first time when the cherry blossoms were blooming and I enjoyed the pink beauty of the flowers for a while ..
The cherry blossom is a Japanese national flower and a symbol of happiness. Because of that, a tradition thousands of years old, called ohanami, which in Japanese means to go and see a cherry blossom, still lives in that country today. The time when the cherry blossoms mark one of the highlights of the Japanese calendar and represents the beginning of spring...
Japanese cherry is a deciduous tree native to Japan, Korea and China. It belongs to the Rosacea family. It is also known in the world by names such as Asian or Oriental cherry. It blooms during the month of April, before leafing. The flowers are pink or white. The cherry blossom is characterized by the fact that when it falls, all the flowers fall at once.
Japanese cherry is used only as an ornamental tree, it has no nutritional value, although some of the varieties give dark fruits - cherries...
Due to its size, only the cherry tree requires a lot of space, requires sun and not very fertile soil, and it is recommended to plant it so that it is lonely, so that it can be expressed during flowering. In addition to the fact that its flowers look so beautiful, they also smell very pleasant, which attracts bees that pollinate them....
In Japan, this is one of the most valued plant species, so the old Japanese proverb says enough about the beauty of its flowers, saying: "Maybe one whole life is not enough to find the ideal cherry blossom ?!".🌸🥰

Cherry blossoms are a turning point in the lives of Japanese people every year ...... Considering that the cherry blossom is believed to bring success to everyone, newlyweds, fortunately, drink cherry blossom tea, and families spend all day under the blossoming cherry tree...

In Japan, countless songs, literary works and legends are dedicated to the cherry blossom. It is estimated that there are more than a million trees of this plant in Japan.
I can't even imagine how it would feel to visit Japan with blossoming cherries ....
In this short moment under the flowers ... I wandered to another country at another time ....
One day, I hope that my wish will come true and visit Japan❤️
