Cherry blossoms have a history of over 1000 years in Japan. In the Nara Era, when referring to viewing flowers, it was actually plum blossoms that were being spoken about. However, by the Heian period, cherry blossoms had taken center stage, with songs celebrating cherry blossoms being five times more numerous than those about plum blossoms. Moreover, the practice of cherry blossom viewing dates back a long time in Japan. In the 7th century, Emperor Chitong had a particular fondness for cherry blossoms and made several trips to view them on Yoshino Mountain. Additionally, it is said that the first significant cherry blossom viewing event in Japanese history was held in the 9th century under the auspices of Emperor Saga. At first, flower viewing was popular only among the nobility, but it spread to the common people during the Edo Period, forming a traditional folk custom.
