In early April, Hanami season arrives in Japan. The word is Hanami literally means "flower watching." The flower of choice is the beautiful SAKURA, Japanese Cherry Blossom. If you have never been to Washington DC, or even if you have not, you have undoubtedly seen the pictures of the Japanese cherry trees from the United States.
For the next few weekends, city, state and national park in Japan, everyone willbusy with millions of Japanese people celebrate Hanami. In celebration is easy. Here's what you need:
1. A Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Tree - Space is very limited, and that can really be hard to find. Most companies send an employee in the early morning hours on the trail of a "prime location" for their collection, after work! Good luck to find a tree for themselves! Only the trees and Sakura are used!
2. A Goza (a mat of plastic picnic blanket) - This shouldlarge enough for a group of 2 or more. Hanami never alone. If it is better to stay at home! The Goza is used to protect the user from the soil, insects, etc. As always shoes are not allowed to Goza, so remove it before you go!
3. OBENTOU (lunch box) - Okay, if you have a significant other, your family or friends, is potluck style Hanami. So you have something you want to share with the other package. If colleagues, the business usually buy OBENTOUfor all, no need to worry so much ... unless you do not want Japanese cuisine! Some people also have yakiniku (Japanese barbecue).
4. Osaka (liquor!) - Yes! Hanami is not complete without Japanese Sake, beer, etc. This is a time for Japanese to have fun, and relax a little 'red-faced. "Oh, and if, by chance, a (cherry blossom) Sakura petal falls in your case, it means good luck to you!
5. Kazoku (family), Tomodachi (Friends)DOURYOU (employee) - are a necessity for Hanami. Although it is good to do some things, in Japan Hanami is not one of them!
Areas with a high number of cherry trees are likely to be an alcohol a county fair with numerous places to eat and buy similar gifts and souvenirs. Hanami can be done during the day or night. One of the most beautiful places in Japan is a Cherry Blossom Orchard illuminated by spotlightshalf of the night. This is known as Yozakura or "sakura night." Be prepared for cold weather, because evenings in April can be very cold!
No matter if you are able to participate in Hanami in Japan or not, to take the time employees have a meal outdoors with friends, family o. Step away from the hustle and bustle of life and get out to enjoy nature. Life is too busy and too short not to learn a valuable lesson from the Japanese People ...
