How can you not claim that the sakura (cherry) blossom is your favorite flower after experiencing its beauty? No, really! It only blooms once a year for a week at most! I think that it’s a gift for people, it’s no wonder so many Japanese people camp out on tarps all day and all night long, drinking and having fun underneath the sakura trees. What better excuse to get out of the house, and spend time with friends and family?
