Special Promotion Seeking Sakura and Samurai in Tohoku: Past and Present Glories of Kakunodate and Hirosaki By Vicki L Beyer Photo: Vicki L Beyer Today | 09:05 am JST TOKYO We all know samurai, those armor-clad sword-wielding warriors of pre-modern Japan.

Sakura is often regarded as symbolic of the fleeting nature of life itself, a notion that particularly appealed to the samurai spirit. Indeed, it was during the Pax Japonica of Japan’s Edo Period (1603-1867) that sakura rose to popularity, supplanting the late winter-blooming plum as the excuse for blossom viewing parties.
