Cherry Blossoms are considered as a cultural icon in Japan. Although cherry blossoms are not completely indigenous to Japan, Japan is the country that greets cherry blossoms with a euphoric ceremony called Hanami in Japanese. We go out to Hanami to simply enjoy our splendid gorgeousness. Cherry Blossoms have become the Japanese spirit, and we can see them in any forms of arts such as films and poems. Despite of Cherry Blossoms' beauty, the life span of blossoms are very short, and this might be the main reason why Japanese sorts out the time in advance when we have Hanami. The life span of Cherry Blossoms would represent human being's life that is not everlasting. Like Cherry Blossoms, human life is too short too, so we have to live life with fullest like the Cherry Blossom when they are in full bloom
