The quintessential symbol of spring in Japan, Japanese cherry trees produce transient clouds of white and pink blossom each spring — a cultural event called hanami (flower viewing) celebrated for centuries.

Over 200 cultivars are recognized, with Somei Yoshino accounting for the majority of Japan's famous cherry avenues.
