Hanami 花見 🌸 Spring 2023

Let’s thaw together and watch the world warm up and bloom. Shed your winter blues with pink.

Cherry Blossom Szn.

  • Hanami (花見, "flower viewing") is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers.

    In modern-day Japan, hanami mostly consists of having an outdoor party beneath the sakura during daytime or at night. In some contexts the Sino-Japanese term kan'ō (観桜, view-cherry) is used instead, particularly for festivals. 

    Hanami at night is called yozakura (夜桜) "night sakura". In many places such as Ueno Park temporary paper lanterns are hung for the purpose of yozakura.

  • Hanami is widely recognized tradition in both Japanese and American cultures. The Cherry Blossom trees and festival in Washington DC are a very popular destination. There are cherry blossoms in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden and Boston’s esplanade.

    An easy way to celebrate Spring with a unique and beautiful Japanese tradition.

  • A season shift in Steps of Service.
