Hanami Is Coming

Hanami means flower viewing (actually "flower" means cherry(sakura) blossoms and plum(ume) blossoms) in Japanese and it's celebrated every year in spring time. It's one of the most important traditions in Japan that brings people together, allow them to admire mother nature and spend good times together. This tradition is frequently referenced in Japanese movies (such as masterpiece Dolls by Takeshi Kitano). Viewing time varies according to blossom openings but generally best times are considered between april and may.
