Hanami

When people talk about cherry blossoms they usually mean this species, Prunus serrulata, the Japanese flowering cherry. In Japan Hanami (花見, "flower viewing") is the traditional Japanese custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers (花, hana) but it almost always refers to pink flowering cherry trees(桜).

In Vancouver, the history of cherry blossoms dates back to the 1930s. Two of the main Japanese port cities, Kobe and Yokohama, donated 500 trees to the Japanese cenotaph in Stanley Park to honor Japanese Canadians who served in the First World War.

There are now over 45,000 cherry trees in Vancouver. We have an annual Hanami Festival and I think this year's must-see event is the Sakura Days Japan Fair at the Van Dusen Botanical Garden (April 13/14). I'll be there. I think I'll take my camera. I'm hoping for a sunny day.

Fantastic hikizuri (trailing kimono, probably a maiko's considering the sode-age sleeves tucks and pattern) depicting all-seasons sceneries & festivals.

It's cherry blossom season!! 🌸🌸🌸🌸

Iris was super psyched in BW when she was introduced to Kanto by Ash, and she even asked him to accompany him back home 😭 I think she'd love to attend a traditional cherry blossom festival with him and Pika 💕

Ash and Iris' outfits are from a 2013 pokemon new years special. Both of them were leading the mini program together. I haven't watched it myself, I've just seen screenshots. If anyone still has the clip/ screenshots I'll be grateful if you can share them!!
