ハル (Spring) is one of the four seasons, occurring between winter and summer. It is characterized by warmer temperatures, longer days, and the blossoming of flowers. In many cultures, spring symbolizes renewal and growth, as plants begin to sprout and animals emerge from hibernation. During spring, various festivals and events celebrate the changing season. In Japan, for example, the arrival of cherry blossoms, or 桜 (sakura), attracts many visitors who enjoy 花見 (hanami), the tradition of viewing flowers. This season is often associated with new beginnings, making it a popular time for planting and outdoor activities.
