Japanese botany focuses on the study of plant life in Japan, which is home to a diverse range of flora due to its varied climate and geography. The country features unique ecosystems, from coastal areas to mountainous regions, supporting species like sakura (cherry blossoms) and bamboo. Traditional practices, such as ikebana (flower arranging), highlight the cultural significance of plants in Japan. Additionally, the study of native plants contributes to conservation efforts and understanding of ecological relationships, making Japanese botany an important field for both science and culture.
