Japan is known for it’s cherry blossoms, and representations of the light pink flowers can be found on kimonos, wall scrolls and brochures that advertise the island nation. Cherry blossoms, which represent femininity and rebirth, bloom in abundance in late March every year. Only it wasn’t always that way. About 50-60 years ago the cherry blossoms bloomed in mid to early April. The trend to bloom earlier has some Japanese concerned, both for their environment and their culture. While there are some cherry trees that bloom in the fall, the most popular variety in Japan blossoms in the springtime during the spring festival season. Drawing tourists from around the world, this festival is known for Geisha, art and warm spring days. It is one of the best times to visit the island nation, with near perfect weather and wonderful examples of Japanese traditions to be found at the many local festivals. But the blossoming of these trees may be endangered by Global warming.
