Japanese Cherry Blossom Ceremony (Hamani)
History
"flower viewing"—hana is “flower(s),” and mi means “watching or viewing.”
When Japan’s most stable warrior government was formally established in Edo in 1603 Tokugawa Ieyasu, hanami was an important aspect of the elite culture in peace time. Tokugawa began planting cherry blossoms in Ueno, which you could visit, and would become Ueno Park in modern times. Other parts of Japan brought the concept of public cherry blossom viewing spaces from Edo back to their respective domains.
This brought hanami to the commoners, enjoying cherry blossoms was good clean fun and people of any rank could enjoy it if they had access to the trees.
