[The origin of Japanese people's love for seasonal words and designs] What is cherry blossom?
●Since the Kokin Wakashu, cherry blossoms have been sung about. (Reference: A design loved by the Japanese people, it is a traditional design for kimonos, obi, etc.)
[ ]
● Sakurafubuki is a word that compares the way cherry blossom petals scatter in the wind to a snowstorm. The moment when the cherry blossoms scatter is the peak of their blooming, just past full bloom, and is likened to "flowers are cherry trees and people are warriors."
