さくら ひらひら 舞い降りて落ちて 揺れる思いのたけを抱きしめた
 君と 春に願いしあの夢は 今も見えているよ さくら舞い散る
    SAKURA  byいきものがかり

Every spring , the cherry trees all over Japan burst in bloom.  The cherry tree called Somei-yoshino is distinguished by the austere beauty of its large whitish flowers. A long time ago, many Japanese people found beauty not only in blooming flowers but also in the way they flutter to the ground. They saw their own mortal lives reflected in the cherry blossoms that bloom and fall all too quickly. Even now cherry songs  have been sung by young musicians and they have been loved by many people.

ソメイヨシノと呼ばれる桜の花は、大きくて白い花の簡素な美しさが特徴です。昔の人々は、咲いている花だけではなく、散りゆく姿にも美を見いだしていました。美しく咲いたかと思えば、すぐに散ってしまう桜の花に人生を重ね合わせていたのかもしれません。今でも、桜ソングは若いミュージシャンたちに歌い続けられています。

そんな桜にまつわるお話を一緒にしませんか? 奈良のさくら、もうすぐ見頃です。
