Sakura is the season that Japan is known for: the time of the blooming of the cherry trees. Everyone looks forward to it and are in better spirits because of it. This is the street leading to one of the universities in Kunitachi; a city near us.


The trees are of a nearly white or pink variety with either a single or double petals.
There is also a children's song about Sakura. Following are the words to the first verse.

Sakura, Sakura
Have you seen the old cherry tree?
Blossoming so breathtakingly?
It's a very glorious thing
Fragrant flowers seem to sing
Come and see, come and see
See what joy they bring.
