Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : Au Japon, la floraison du cerisier est un des événements naturels les plus marquants se déroulant au printemps.

Les Japonais peuvent ainsi aller dans les parcs, les autels et les temples en famille ou entre amis pour contempler les fleurs (hanami), manger et boire. Cet événement célèbre la beauté des cerisiers en fleurs et sont pour beaucoup, une occasion de se reposer et de profiter du paysage.

Le caractère transitoire de la floraison du Sakura est utilisé depuis des siècles comme métaphore afin de souligner le caractère éphémère de la beauté mais aussi de la vie. Le Sakura sert ainsi à expliquer l'important concept esthétique japonais qu'est le "mono no aware" (sensibilité pour l'éphémère).
English: In Japan, cherry blossom is one of the most important natural events of spring.

Japanese people, often dressed in Kimono (traditional costume) go to parks, altars and temples with their family and friends to watch the flowers (hanami), eat and drink. This event celebrates the beauty of cherry blossoms and is for many an opportunity to relax and enjoy the scenery.

The ephemeral nature of the sakura flower has been used for centuries as a metaphor for the transience of beauty and life. Sakura is used to explain the important Japanese aesthetic concept of "mono no aware" (sensitivity to the ephemeral).
