The Japanese celebrate this happy time with festivals and flower-viewing parties. At the end of winter, everyone's excitement starts to grow. The whole country wants to knowthe exact day when the cherry flowers ('sakura') will appear. Starting in February, weathermen try to guess when this day will be. When the first flowers open on the trees, national joy breaks out! There are rides and games four children in the street, music and dance perfomances, tea ceremonies, flower displays, and much more. But the most special thing that people do at this time is have 'hanami'parties. Hanami means flower watching. In hanami parties, families and friends take a picnic and go and sit under a cherry tree to look at and admire the flowers. Hanami parties takeplace during the daytime andalso at night, because when it is dark, lights light up the cherry trees. Hanami is very important to the Japanese. Cherry blossoms appear on trees for only one week before they fall to the  ground and die, and for the Japanese this symbolises the shortnature of childhood and lie. So hanami is a time when Japanese people like to think about how important life is. Spring is the Japanese people’s favourite time of year. When the cherry flowers appear, people hope for long lives. The cherry flowers do not stay on the trees for very long Hanami takes place a week after the cherry trees blossom. It is not easy for now to know the day the cherry flowers appear.
