<holidayfyi-glossary slug="cherry-blossom-viewing"></holidayfyi-glossary>The Japanese tradition of hanami — literally 'flower viewing' — in which people gather under blooming cherry trees (sakura) for picnics and contemplation of the blossoms' fleeting beauty, practised since at least the 8th century and one of the most widely participated seasonal celebrations in Japan. The Japan Meteorological Corporation issues annual sakura forecasts, and the tradition has spread globally, with cherry blossom festivals now held in Washington D.C., Bonn, Vancouver, and dozens of other cities.
