In Japan, spring is greeted by the blossoming of the cherry trees.  The sakura, or cherry blossoms, might signal the changing of the seasons, but in Japanese culture they symbolize beauty and the impermanence of life.  You have to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom to truly appreciate their beauty.  Some of the best cherry blossoms in America are found in Washington D.C.  If you have a chance to see them, please go!  LINK: National Cherry Blossom Festival

Here’s a music video by Morning Musume Sakuragumi to help put you in the mood for spring:
