The Japanese have long thought of the sakura cherry blossom as the flower which symbolizes the nation.
It is mentioned in ancient myths, and the way its petals fall while still at the height of their beauty was interpreted by the old warrior class as symbolic of resignation and grace in death, qualities which the warriors rated highly.
There are numerous cherry blossom viewing spots throughout the country and one of the pleasures of life among the Japanese is the chance to hold a sake drinking party beneath a grove of cherry trees in full bloom.
The chrysanthemum is another flower which, because of its use in the Imperial Crest, is considered to be symbolic of Japan.
When I was in hi-school I thought chrysanthemum ang ilang national flower.But I just knew nga wala gi declare diay ug unsa jod,kay some says cherry blossoms,other says chrysanthemum.Well,kanang duha na lang.
