Sakura - Yellow

Japanese cherry trees are flowering cherry trees (prunus) of which there are many varieties. Flowering cherry trees are found throughout the world and are particularly common in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, including Japan, China, and Korea, as well as Nepal, India, Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, and parts of northern Europe.

Japan is particularly famous for its cherry blossoms due to the large number of different varieties found there and the celebrations that take place throughout the country during the blossoming season. When the buds bloom in parks and on streets throughout the country, people hold picnics and hanami (flower viewing) to appreciate the fleeting beauty of the flowers and welcome the warmer weather.

Cherry blossoms are called "sakura" in Japanese, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are a source of fascination for the Japanese.
