Cherry blossoms, often known as Japanese cherry or Sakura, are the flowers of various Prunus or Prunus subg. Cerasus trees. They're also a prevalent species in East Asia, particularly in China, Korea, and Japan. They usually refer to decorative cherry trees, which should not be confused with cherry trees that bear edible fruit. It is considered Japan's national flower.
The centuries-old tradition of drinking under a flowering sakura or ume tree is known as "hanami." The tradition is claimed to have begun during the Nara era (710–794), when people enjoyed ume flowers, but by the Heian period (794–1185), cherry blossoms had gained popularity, and 'hanami' had become synonymous with 'sakura.'
