I went to the cruise on Sakura
Sakura is so popular in Japan, which could be a symbol of the country of the rising sun. Hundreds and thousands of cherry trees of different varieties are planted in gardens and parks of the main cities of the country. And every self-respecting village considers his duty to have his own Alley Sakura. When it comes time, Sakura blooms everywhere in Japan, moving from the south to the north, starting his blossom at the end of January on tropical Okinawa and ending at the Surgon Hokkaido at the end of May. Gently pink petals spin in gardens and parks, along the banks of rivers, around buddhist temples And samurai castles, paint the slopes of Mount Fuji and other Japanese volcanoes in their unique colors of spring.
The most common variety of Japanese Sakura - Somay-Yosino, a special grade that flowers blooms much earlier than the leaves. In the midst of flowering on the bare branches appear borders of flowers. And if you go to such a grove of Sakur, the feeling that you get into the gentle-pink cloud is created. Apparently, this is exactly what the Japanese sought, from the middle of the XIX century, planting Sakura across the country.
So came Khana, the time of admirement Sakura. It's time for a walk and a picnic under the most beautiful tree. And your Japanese boss will not mind to join the corporate leaving, of course with Sake, Sushi, Sashimi and other Japanese cuisine. Each Japanese knows where the most beautiful views of nearby, in their area, city, as well as in the prefecture and in the whole country.
Sakura is ghostly and mimoletny. The Japanese say that Sakura reminds people about the briefness of everything around. It is possible so with its great love for nature and everything beautiful, it is very rare to meet Sakura in the Personal Garden of the Japanese House. Much more often there you can see pine, as a symbol of strength and longevity.
Few know that in Japan Sakura is considered a male flower, the sign of courage and courage, a symbol of a samurai. After all, the petals of the Japanese cherries fall, without fading when they are still full of life. So the metaphor was born about the Japanese warrior-Samurai, ready to die in the heyday. And so why some of the best places for Khana (Sakura contemplation) are gardens and parks around samurai castles, such as Matsue Castle or Hiroshak Castle, where the first trees of Sakura planted 300 years ago and where the famous festival Sakura, Port Aomori is held every year) .
Due to the huge public interest, the National Meteorological Agency of Japan, during the flowering of Sakura, in addition to the usual forecasts, talks about the beginning of the heyday and stages of the flowering of Japanese cherries in various regions of the country.
Usually, bloom begins at the end of January and early February in Okinawa, moving over with the spring to the north of Japan.

March 19, 2016, 10:10 "Blooming Cherry Front" begins his trip to the archipelago, following the north of Japan
On Saturday, Sakura began to bloom in Japan, the Japanese meteorological agency reported. The trees of the Soma-Yosino variety trees always bloom, they can already be observed in various regions of the country. Sakura bloomed four days earlier than usual, on Saturday, in Fukuoka. Seven days earlier in Naked. The agency explains this unusually warm weather conditions. The rank of flowering is expected from March 26 to March 29.
« I feel the breath of spring"," Said Yasutak Nanri from the city of Fukushima, who just passed by the flowering tree. " I look forward to when the trees are dissolved throughout Japan, and the holiday of admirement by Sakura will begin».
The duties of the Japanese meteorological agency include monitoring the front of Sakur's flowering throughout the country. Relevant reports and forecasts, the Agency releases throughout the season, informing how blooming is gradually moving from the south to the north of Japan. In exact forecasts of the meteorological agency, not only Japanese-lovers of khana, but also tourists who come from around the world for the holiday of Sakura's love is interested.
Japan's weather association calls people who plan to arrive in Khana, organize their trip this year before usual. Sakura will be in full bloom from the end of March, as well as in the first week of April in the western part of the Kanto region.
According to the materials of the Internet publications.
The transition from winter by summer just begins, and this means that the time of magic is coming - the flowering season. When winter weakens the grip, gentle petals begin to pierce their way from the kidneys on the bizarre branches. In February, this plum, and at the end of March - Sakura. This is the earliest sign that, soon, warmly will gradually envelop the entire Japanese archipelago. This process, like its surrealistic "pink-colored" results, foreshadows something incredibly good for the Japanese, however, it is difficult to describe the description. Even strict civil servants become kinder when Sakura flource.

| Sakura flows in Tokyo at the end of March |
The weather still fills the winter coolness, but the hearts and minds of the Japanese population have already begun to disappear. I can only describe it as " spring vacation Souls. " While the word "Khana" simply means "loving flowers" in Japanese, the spring holiday of joy symbolizes the favorite time of the year - the spring. So, prepare a raincoat and dishes for a picnic, we will choose a place that best complies with your family preferences. Below are several places in Tokyo, which must be noted on the map of your walk in spring.
 |
Park Yögi. This is one of my most favorite places for Khana. Although this place may not be best suited for children. Of course, there are beautiful trees and a unique festive atmosphere, but you will also find broken bottles, aggressive raven and hordes of drunk students from the local college. Nevertheless, despite all this, there is something in this park - it is possible that it is the energy of the local nature that makes it return to coming here every season. People here really make everything they think: hold costume parties, banquets and sing in karaoke. All around are friendly and friendly to children. But, being flexible, may not notice that they burn a cigarette a few inches on behalf of your baby, so it should be careful. The best place For a family holiday is located in the center of the park - right behind the fountains. There are not so many blooming trees, but, but a lot of space where children can frolic and run, not afraid to face other walking passersby.
 |
Arisugava Park. Located a few minutes from the Hiro station. This park is not so many Sakur, but a lot of picturesque places. Near the library there is a good playground for kids. The supermarket "National Adezaba" is right across the road - everything you may need for a picnic can be bought there. Because Arisugava Park is hilly, then for older children it will be interesting to play hide and seek. There are many stone steps in the territory. Those who walk with carriages can use the sidewalk, which goes throughout the perimeter of the park.
 |
| Weno Park |
Weno Park. This is a 800-pound "Gorilla", which holds the championship among all Tokyo Parks on Khan. But all I can advise - stay away from this place. I was there with children several times over the past decade, and I always wanted to leave immediately. If there is a place favorable for the child, I would like to know them. But, all I have come to see are dozens of hopeless drunken bodies lying right under the blooming trees. Those who have claustrophobia - beware.
Aoyama cemetery. Here you will find some of the brightest and photogenic seasons, but keep in mind - this is a cemetery, so you should give tribute to respect and observe etiquette. it beautiful place For a walk with babies, but this is not a place where children should play. The best option is a walk.
 |
| River Nakamaguro |
River Nakamaguro. The landscape here is especially wizard after sunset. This is an ideal place for a walk, however, not only in the afternoon. Flowering trees grow mainly on the main line, where children are not enough for maneuvers. But, all coastal restaurants and kiosks are along the sidewalk, and this is a great place for walking, snacks and loving on trees. Especially after twilight, because Sakura is highlighted with artificial illumination.
National Park Shinjuku Göen. My main choice for families in the season of Khana (and not only) - Shinjuku Göen. The garden is rich in beautiful trees and picturesque places for relax. Behind the well-being and cleanliness in the park is well monitored: there is no pigeon litter and broken glass. Lawns are neatly tonsured and not wrapped out. If it's cold outside, you can go on a tour of the newly renovated greenhouse to warm up. In all respects, Shinjuku Göen wins. Including, it is worth considering the fact that the season Khana lasts here even longer, because here "YaSakura" grow, which usually blooms about two weeks after the other varieties of cherries have already trembled. There are, however, several features: the park closes at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the use of alcohol on the territory is prohibited. Bags are often checked at the gate, though, I witnessed how caracakers still closed their eyes on a bottle of wine or sake.

March 10, 2016, 13:43 At the festival of Sakura flowering one of the main characters will be Norwegian
Twenty-Semilenaya Norwegian became the first western woman who was chosen for the lead role at the Sakura flowering festival in the city of Tsubame (Niigata Prefecture). During the festival, all participants dressed in the costumes of the EDO era (1603-1868).

The main heroines of the holiday will be shovel in sandals on a 15-centimeter platform. They will have to demonstrate a unique style of walking Oyran, which they used when entertaining guests in the distant times of Edo era.
It is worth paying attention to that when making a final decision regarding the main heroines of the holiday, among other things, their physical training was taken into account. The fact is that the total weight of the girl's outfits is about 30 kilograms.
Annta Hansen also told that she was very worried, because in previous festivals there were unpleasant confusion, when the girls elected to the role of the Kurtisanok could not complete their participation in the festival due to the unbearable two-hour physical exertion. In addition to the outfit on girls there will be a special wig of the times of Edo, which was taken to wear in that era.

« If only we could fall as a cherry color in the spring - such a clean and shining!»
Second world War Transformed the color of Sakura. Twenty-two-year-old pilot-kamikaze, which was a hayk before dying in battle in February 1945, did not even foresee, as soon as Hiroshima and Nagasaki will give a new "color" to such familiar cherry blossom - flourishing, transformed into the human ideal of beauty, achievable Thanks to beautiful death. It is necessary to be them to enjoy fully, and become part of him as suicide bumps.
« Dear Parents"," Wrote another, "" please congratulate me. I gave me a great opportunity to die. This is my last day. The fate of our Motherland now depends on the decisive sea battle in the south, where I fall as a color with shining sakura».
Sakura's color symbolized the disappearance, the beauty, beauty of the disappearance and the ideal of the warrior of Japan. He always glorified self-sacrifice. That is why the Sakura flower has merged into the threshold of the 20th century that the concepts that men dying for their sacred homeland became actually cherry blossom, because they acquire unearthly, superior beauty, "so clean and shining!" They become.
Other countries also brought up warriors and patriots filled with a seinery of a separate life as trivial things compared to the homeland service. But no one was supposed to be so terrible, terrible beauty as the color of Sakura.
A more practical example as another culture is considering the same topic - a brief passage from the letter that the young French revolutionary wrestler wrote his father in 1792. " Our freedom can only be guaranteed if there is a mattress from corpses on the bed... I agree to become one of them" (Citizted by the historian Simon Sham in the book "Citizens: Chronicle of the French Revolution"). The Japanese would rightfully admire his strength of the Spirit, but it is a pity that he was not a poet.
It was, according to Ivan Morris, " one of the strangest and most acute weapons in the history of war"-" One-sided glider, which comes close to the goal even at high altitude, and then sharply dives down at a great speed that blowing up the warhead on the enemy ship ... The seizion's craft itself could fail the court of the enemy navy, which now ( 1944-1945) The islands of Slow breathable Japan besieged. In addition, the use of such weapons would demoralize foreigners who were psychologically not ready for such methods of war. "
This weapon got a name oka, in honor of the additional reading "Sakura flower". The Americans gave him another name - a bomb of the tank or in other words "Bomb Idiot."
About 5 thousand Japanese military "fell like a Sakura flower." Damage that they could apply the ships of the United States and their allies were insignificant. However, as was conceived, it had a very strong psychological impact, but the result was unexpected. Hoping for the demoralization of the enemy, the Japanese did not even think that the Americans decided to use extraordinary methods for the war with such an extraordinary country. And it was discharged on 6 and 9 August 1945 bombs on the city of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
August 16, Japan surrendered. On the same day, Vice Admiral Takidziro Onii, who was the initiator of the terrorist attack of the Oka, made a ritual harakiri right in his own residence in Tokyo. He was also a poet. " Today in the flower, tomorrow in the scattered wind. - Such is our life of heyday. Can we think that his aroma lasts forever?»
According to the materials of the Internet publications.
The celebration of the Chinese New Year is still in full swing, but it is already known that a record number of foreign tourists came to Japan to celebrate this holiday in Japan. After this event, hotels and restaurants in the country will only be a month to prepare for the next huge wave Tourists who will arrive in March and April to meet the spring and see the bloom of Sakura.

The prediction of the exact date of the start of the Khangan was always considered a matter of priority for the Japanese tourist industry. The popularity of the country is growing rapidly, more and more tourists from different countries Want to visit an island state.
According to the forecasts of Japanese specialists, this year, Sakura will first bloom in the southwestern part of the city of Fukuoka and Kumamoto. This will happen about March 25. For them, on March 26, Sakura will bloom in Tokyo and Nagoya. The ancient capital of Kyoto will see Sakura flowering on March 29, while residents and tourists of the northern city of Sapporo on Hokkaido island will be able to enjoy Sakura blossom only from May 2. As a rule, the flower is completely blocked for about a week.

The forecast is carried out on the basis of constant temperature studies, taking into account the data of the last few months. Usually low temperatures at the end of the autumn and early winter and high temperatures in early spring lead to early blooming. As for 2016, this year the deadlines correspond to the average annual.
China's airlines intend to take measures to fully provide the possibility of increased passenger air transport In March and April. It is during this period that there is a rapid increase in the number of Chinese tourists coming to Japan.
According to the staff of the Tokyo Representative Office of China Southern Airlines, they were taken to increase the number of places for the transportation of tourists. Sakura flowering. In March - April 2015, Japan visited 3 million 200 thousand tourists. Among them are about 800 thousand guests from China.

Pink "Snowfall"
When billions of petals fall out from cherry trees, it may seem that the earth is covered with pink snow. Suddenly, the petals come off from the branches and fly in the graceful dance to the ground. A strong gust of wind picks up "snowflakes", spreading them everywhere. The Japanese call this phenomenon of Sakura Fubuki, or pink "snowfall". The earth will rip out a gentle pink carpet. The fallen petals of Sakura - a rare beauty spectacle - give peace and calm.
"Khana", admiring the blooming Sakura, is the most favorite tradition of the Japanese. But, despite the fact that literally "khana" is translated as "loving with flowers", it is no less firmly associated with a good snack and drinking on a picnic with family or with friends under blooming trees.
Now in Japan there are more than 300 types of Sakura, although not more than 10 species are natural. Sakura flowers were also a favorite plot of many famous artists. They appear in countless paintings, poems, and later in photographs and films, not to mention the fact that Sakura is the most popular ornament of female kimono.
But not only the Japanese asses the beauty of Sakura flowering. Anyone who will visit Japan at that time will come to delight when it sees blooming trees trembling in the wind ("HanAducation"), as well as sakura flowering at the light of the moon or paper lamps ("Eugeakura"). This impression will continue in memory for many years.
