The
cherry blossom front (桜前線 sakura zensen?) refers to the advance of the
cherry blossoms across
Japan. The
Japan Meteorological Agency records the opening and full bloom of the blossoms from
Kyūshū in late March to
Hokkaidō in the middle of May. The advancing front is also the subject of regular reports by the major
news agencies. The cherry blossom is of great public interest in Japan thanks to
its symbolism and the custom of
flower viewing known as
hanami.
