What does sakula mean in Japanese?

Sakula means cherry blossoms in Japanese, written as "桜" in Japanese and "さくら" in Japanese Pinyin.

Japanese cherry blossom culture: Japan is a nation that especially likes cherry blossoms. Every year in March and April, cherry blossoms bloom from the warm south to the cold north, and the Japanese will enjoy their own "cherry blossom season" during this time.

One of the characteristics of cherry blossoms is that they will bloom at the same time when they bloom. And when it withers, it will wither together. A single cherry tree is not beautiful, but a cherry tree is extremely spectacular, which is a collective advocated in Japanese culture.

Only by uniting can people overcome everything. This is an extremely powerful force. It is a double-edged sword, such as the Meiji Restoration in Japan and the Kamikaze Special Forces launched by Japan during World War II, which brought great shock to the world. Therefore, the Japanese believe that cherry blossoms can perfectly embody the spirit of Bushido.

Cherry blossoms have a history of 1000 years in Japan. In the eyes of the Japanese, it is the beginning of a hundred flowers, which brings hope like spring. In ancient Japan, according to whether the cherry blossoms bloom smoothly, it is predicted whether the weather is good this year and whether the crops are bumper.

Therefore, in ancient times, whenever cherry blossoms were in full bloom, people would gather under the cherry trees to pray, sacrifice to the flower god and predict this year's fortune. This traditional ritual divination activity later evolved into "flower viewing" (that is, flower viewing). According to records, the custom of "Flower Room" originated from the cherry blossom banquet held in heian period Palace. Cherry blossom viewing was the patent of dignitaries at that time. It was gradually accepted by civilians in the Edo period for historical reasons and eventually became a traditional Japanese folk festival.
