The sakura flower, or cherry blossom, is an indelible part of Japanese culture and identity. Honored throughout Japanese history in art, poetry, and song, the delicate petals of this national emblem appear only briefly each year. Their arrival transforms bare winter branches into billowy clouds, inspiring an activity known as hanami.

I have heard a hundred times that “Japan is an island country with a long history of isolation, and many aspects of the culture developed completely unaffected by outside influences until the Black Ships came and forced open our doors.”
I have to say that this notion, however popular, is not entirely true. From the early 1600s to the mid-1800s, yes, Japan had “officially” isolated itself from the world.
