Hanami (花見, lit. „flower viewing”) is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers, flowers („hana”) in this case almost always referring to those of the cherry („sakura”) or, less frequently, plum („ume”) trees. From the end of March to early May, sakura bloom all over Japan, and around the first of February on the island of Okinawa.
