It is thought that Omuro-zakura (御室桜) originated in Heian times.
The current cherry trees were planted in the early Edo period (江戸時代), shortly after Tokugawa Iemitsu (徳川家光 1604-51) helped rebuild the temple.

Hanami, or cherry blossom viewing, is a centuries-old Japanese tradition. As sakura bloom in a brief, brilliant burst, people picnic beneath the trees to savor the moment. Their fleeting beauty offers a gentle reminder: enjoy the moment—it won’t last forever.

Classmates of Megumi Yokota have donated cherry trees to a junior high school in the city of Niigata that they had attended when the then 13-year-old was abducted by North Korea. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/11/japan/megumi-yokota-cherry-trees/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #megumiyokota #schools #sakura #northkorea #niigata
A famous old Basho haiku for cherry blossom season
花の雲 鐘は上野か 浅草か
Happiness in the Japanese culture is always alloyed with melancholy.
My cherry tree has not blossomed yet, spring has been late in coming.
Hana no kumo == clouds of flowers
Kane ha == Is this bell
Ueno ka Asakusa ka == in Ueno or Asakusa?
Basho lived in a hut along the Sumida river: Tokyo has swallowed it up. But in his poems, the old master captured moment.

Wer im Münchner Nord-Osten lebt und noch Kirschblüten fotografieren will; im Sport- und Freizeitpark #hallbergmoos stehen einige Bäume, die grad gut am Blühen sind und noch viele Knospen haben. Sonntag soll's regnen.
