History of Hanami
The Japanese people's fondness for sakura trees is reflected in the holiday of Hanami. In the modern world its main meaning is to admire the sakura blossoms. But the origins of the formation of the holiday are hidden in the depths of centuries. The Japanese have always been great lovers and connoisseurs of beauty. After the ume plum was brought to the islands from China, it became a symbol of foreign culture. The practice of worshipping plum blossoms existed until the 7th century.
Later, the inhabitants of Japan became more reverent about their own country, culture, and traditions. The imperial court stopped sending envoys to China. And the object of worship instead of the Chinese plum became sakura, a tree that grows in all regions of the island nation.
First the imperial court, rich dignitaries, feudal lords, and then ordinary people, settling under the shade of trees, admired the delicate flowers, inhaled the exquisite fragrance, delighted themselves with music, composed poems, participated in various games, plays, dance performances, enjoyed delicious food and drinks. Gradually Hanami was recognized as an official national holiday.
It is not only "sitting" under the blossoming trees, but also in numerous processions through the streets of cities. The most famous Hanami took place in 1598, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a warlord deeply revered by the people of Japan, who defeated separatists and unified the whole country, led a procession of 1,300 people. The procession reached Daigo Shrine in Kyoto, where a grand celebration was held.
In modern Japan in numerous gardens at temples, city parks and squares there are trees of more than 300 species. Of these, only 10 are of natural origin, while the rest have been bred by breeders.
