As the saying goes, ``If the cherry blossoms bloom for a long time, the grain will be abundant,'' cherry blossoms have long been popular in Japan as a very important tree. In the Heian period, aristocrats began to plant flowers in their gardens, and it became popular to hold parties under them while enjoying the flowers. In the past, when people thought of flowers, they thought of plum blossoms, but now they have come to mean cherry blossoms, and now they are known around the world as a symbol of Japan.

Cherry blossoms also play an important role in the world of Noh, but they not only symbolize beauty and beauty, but also appear as a symbol of impermanence and sadness, or as a tree in which spirits reside. It is also said that samurai in the Sengoku period put cherry blossom patterns on their armor and helmets because of the gracefulness of the lovely flowers that suddenly fall.
