Cherry Blossoms Blossoming in Japan !

Hello and welcome to Liv N' Luv Japan ! You know what time it is?! Time for the Cherry Blossom trees to bloom in Japan ! In April, it is the most perfect time for Cherry Blossom (or known as "Sakura" Trees) to bloom. In my opinion, Cherry Blossoms are my most favorite plant in the world because it has such a beautiful shade of pink to it and the bark of the tree is really dark most times so the colors are perfect for the spring! It is also special to me because my birthday is in April (April 16th) ! (^_^)

I just love Sakura trees ! I don't think I had ever seen a Sakura tree in person before but if I ever do, I want to see while in Japan! Especially in the traditional cities and towns in Japan would just be absolutely perfect! In Japan, there is also a festival to celebrate the Cherry Blossom trees known in Japan as 全米桜祭り(Zenbei Sakura Matsuri)

It is celebrated in Washington D.C. as well commemorating the March 27, 1912, gift of the Japanese cherry trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo City. Yukio Ozaki donated the trees in an effort to enhance the growing friendship between the United States and Japan.

Christmas in Japan!

Hello everyone~! Welcome to Liv N' Luv Japan! Today, I will be talking about what is going on in Japan this December!! Japanese love to go all out and about when it comes to celebrating~! ^_^ In Japan, Christmas is a bit different from the West because of their Buddhism and Shinto religions. It involves basically around Christmas Eve instead of Christmas Day. In Japan as in America, presents are given and Santa Claus is widely known in Japan. Children always gets presents but children never give their parents presents until the point that they no longer believe in Santa Claus.

Christmas in Japan is also considered a romantic holiday, and lovers would spend their evening together with each other doing suitably romantic things. It's crucial for single women in Japan to have someone spend Christmas Eve with them. It is also very important where they spend Christmas Eve and what presents they would receive. Japanese women who have a boyfriend tend to show off, so women who don't are not happy to talk about that topic. Christmas in Japan is very similar to Valentine's Day in the West.

 

 

 

Merry Christmas~!!! ^_^

  

I hope all of you have a happy and merry Christmas this 2013~!! ^_^
