サクラ (Cherry)
サクラ (Cherry) refers to the beautiful flowering trees belonging to the genus Prunus. These trees are celebrated for their stunning pink and white blossoms, which bloom in spring. In Japan, sakura holds cultural significance and is often associated with the arrival of spring, symbolizing renewal and the fleeting nature of life.
The sakura tree produces small, round fruits known as cherries, which can be sweet or sour. These fruits are enjoyed fresh, used in desserts, or made into beverages. The sakura season attracts many tourists, who participate in hanami, the traditional practice of enjoying the beauty of cherry blossoms.
