Sakura(桜)

Introduction

This is the start of Cherry Blossom Season, so we should have words to remind us of these lovely blooms. This is from a conversation I had this morning.

I will attempt this with Kanshi (漢詩) using lüshi 律詩 and jueju 絕句 rhyme forms, though this is my interpretation, so may not be an exact use of the form, which you can read about here:

Cherry blossom season, known as sakura season in Japan, typically occurs from late March to early May, with the peak bloom varying by location. The blossoms are celebrated for their beauty and are central to the tradition of hanami, or flower viewing.
