Japanese turn out in large numbers at Hanami festivals to celebrate the beauty of the Sakura at park, shrine and temple flower-viewing parties.
The custom of Hanami dates back centuries with festivals being held as early as the third century CE.
In 1912 to celebrate Japan's growing friendship with the United States a gift of 3,020 cherry blossom trees was made which were planted in Sakura Park, Manhattan.
The gift was renewed with another 3,800 trees in 1965.
There are now collections around the country of flowering Japanese cherry trees in the tens of thousands.
