Cherry Blossom Festival, 桜祭り or Hanami 花見 (Flower Watching) is an important Japanese custom.For all you Japan-Enthusiasts; I love the Cherry Blossom Festivals! I go every year!
Cherry blossoms can be viewed from January to June in different regions in Japan, and cherry blossom festivals are held all over Japan in spring.
In a typical cherry blossom festival (Hanami), tea ceremonies, traditional Japanese music or dance performances take place. Cherry blossoms are often illuminated at night. Visit great cherry blossom spots or cherry blossom festivals in Japan.
This information is taken from WikipediaThe practice of hanami is many centuries old. The custom is said to have started during the Nara Period (710–794) when the Chinese Tang Dynasty influenced Japan in many ways; one of which was the custom of enjoying flowers. Though it was ume blossoms that people admired in the beginning, by the Heian Period, sakura came to attract more attention. From then on, in tanka and haiku, "flowers" meant "sakura."
Yakuza (ヤクザ or やくざ)Luckily my knowledge is not limeted to the lighter side of Japanese culture.
The Yakuza is a large, organized crime unit stationed in Japan. There are four different "families" of Yakuza.
