Why cherry<br />

blossoms<br />

The cherry blossom, or sakura, is the<br />

ower of several tree species in Japan.<br />

Due to the short, yet beautiful life cycle of<br />

the sakura, it is often seen as a symbol of<br />

the human life cycle in Japanese culture.<br />

The sakura is used in many Japanese<br />

goods, including kimonos, dishes, and<br />

currency.<br />

When are the<br />

blossoms in<br />

bloom<br />

Given the importance of the cherry blossom in<br />

Japanese culture, it is no wonder that the Japanese<br />

Meteorological Agency tracks the sakura zensen, or<br />

cherry blossom front. The blossoming can begin as<br />

early as January in Okinawa and typically reaches<br />

Kyoto and Tokyo at the end of <strong>March</strong> or beginning of<br />

April. Blossoms typically arrive in the Misawa area in<br />

late April or early May.<br />

IT'S<br />

CHERRY BLOSSOM<br />

SEASON!<br />

By Sarah Harper<br />

Top Sakura Viewing Locations in<br />

Northern Japan<br />

On sale NOW at ITT<br />

Hirosaki Park on the<br />

Hirosaki Castle Grounds<br />

With over 2,600 cherry blossom trees on<br />

the castle grounds, Hirosaki is one of the<br />

most popular sakura viewing sites in all<br />

of Japan. Since the castle grounds are<br />

about a two and a half hour drive from<br />

Misawa, it is one of the closest cherry<br />

blossom festivals to Misawa. It is held<br />

annually from 23 April through 5 May.<br />

See page 14 for more information on the<br />

Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival<br />

ITT tour.<br />

Ashino National Park<br />

in Goshogawara<br />

40.914465, 140.451682<br />

Ashino National Park is located on Ashino-ko<br />

Lake in Goshogawara, and is about a two and<br />

half hour drive from Misawa. The festival at<br />

Ashino Park is call Kanagi Sakuramatsuri and is<br />

held from 29 April to 5 May. Over 2,300 sakura<br />

trees are planted in the park. Those looking for<br />

smaller crowds may nd Ashino Park to be a<br />

better choice for cherry blossom viewing. There<br />

is no admission fee for the park, and parking lots<br />

are available for festival-goers.<br />

What is<br />

hanami<br />

Hanami is the practice of picnicking under a blooming<br />

sakura tree, though this custom originated with blooming<br />

Japanese plum trees called ume. The practice of hanami<br />

was traditionally limited to the elite of the Imperial<br />

Court, but quickly spread to the samurai society, and<br />

consequently, the rest of the population.<br />

Modern hanami parties take<br />

place during the day or night, and<br />

often includes bento box meals or<br />

barbecue and beer or sake. Many<br />

parties bring chairs and karaoke<br />

machines or music and spend much<br />

of the day enjoying the spring<br />

weather and falling cherry blossoms.<br />

Many viewing sites hang paper<br />

lanterns from the trees, making<br />

night hanami parties even more<br />

spectacular.<br />

Takamatsu Park in Morioka<br />

39.722248, 141.146669<br />

Takamatsu Park is located in the ruins of Takamatsu Castle.<br />

The castle is one of only three castles in Japan completely<br />

surrounded by moats. Over 90 cherry blossom trees are<br />

located in the southern part of the castle ruins, which was<br />

once used to train horses.<br />

Tenschochi Park in Kitakami<br />

39.273911, 141.127803<br />

Kitakami is approximately a three hour drive south<br />

of Misawa and is located in the Iwate prefecture.<br />

The city is famous for its sakura viewing. Almost<br />

10,000 cherry trees blossom along the Kitakami<br />

River. In addition to the cherry trees, almost<br />

100,000 azaleas color the park. While it is most<br />

known for sakura viewing, Tenschochi Park is<br />

beautiful, no matter which season you visit.<br />

y Sarah Harper<br />

St. Patrick's Day and the luck of the Irish<br />

go hand in hand. Americans avoid black<br />

cats, broken mirrors, and walking under<br />

ladders to stay lucky, but what about our<br />

host nation Here are the top ten Japanese<br />

superstitions about luck.<br />

1 Kita Makura (North Pillow)<br />

Buddhist funerals use north facing pillows,<br />

so make sure yours faces a different<br />

direction!<br />

2 Nighttime Nail Clipping<br />

Avoid this to keep your parents alive!<br />

3 Stabbing Chopsticks<br />

This practice is used for funerals, so always<br />

rest your chopsticks on the dashiki or<br />

horizontally across the food bowl.<br />

4 Numbers 4 & 9<br />

The number four is read as shi, which also<br />

means death; and nine is ku, the word for<br />

suffering. Japanese hospitals and other<br />

buildings often avoid using both numbers.<br />

5 Moonlight Whistling<br />

Night time whistling is said to attract bad<br />

guys.<br />

6 Broken Geta Sandal<br />

Invest in quality shoes if you don’t want<br />

broken sandals and bad luck!<br />

7 Night Spiders<br />

Spiders seen in the morning are auspicious,<br />

while their nighttime brethren are<br />

considered unwanted.<br />

8 Exposed Belly Buttons<br />

According to folklore, cover your belly<br />

button on a thunderous night or you may<br />

awaken to it being stolen by the thunder<br />

god.<br />

9 Skip Your Birthday<br />

Certain birth years are unlucky. For men,<br />

years 25, 42, and 61 are super bad luck; for<br />

women, it's 19, 33, and 37.<br />

10 Pointing Fingers<br />

Avoid pointing your index or thumb in<br />

the direction of a hearse to protect your<br />

parents from being next.<br />
