<span style="color: red;"><b><i>Hanami</i> <span style="font-weight: normal;">(<span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">花見</span>, lit. "flower viewing")</span> is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers, "flower" in this case almost always meaning <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_blossom" title="Cherry blossom">cherry blossoms</a> (<i>sakura</i>) or (less often) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prunus_mume" title="Prunus mume">plum blossoms</a> (<i>ume</i>). From the end of March to early May, sakura bloom all over Japan,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanami#cite_note-2">[</a></sup>and around the first of February on the island of <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okinawa" title="Okinawa">Okinawa</a>. The blossom forecast <span style="font-weight: normal;">(<span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">桜前線</span> <i>sakura-zensen</i>, literally "cherry blossom front")</span> is announced each year by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Meteorological_Agency" title="Japan Meteorological Agency">weather bureau</a>, and is watched carefully by those planning <i>hanami</i> as the blossoms only last a week or two. In modern-day Japan, <i>hanami</i> mostly consists of having an outdoor party beneath the sakura during daytime or at night. In some contexts the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Japanese_vocabulary" title="Sino-Japanese vocabulary">Sino-Japanese</a> term <i>kan'ō</i> <span style="font-weight: normal;">(<span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">観桜</span>, view-cherry)</span> is used instead, particularly for festivals. <i>Hanami</i> at night is called <i>yozakura</i> <span style="font-weight: normal;">(<span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">夜桜</span>, literally <i>night sakura</i>)</span>. In many places such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ueno_Park" title="Ueno Park">Ueno Park</a> temporary <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_lantern" title="Paper lantern">paper lanterns</a> are hung for the purpose of <i>yozakura</i>.
On the island of Okinawa, decorative electric lanterns are hung in the
trees for evening enjoyment, such as on the trees ascending Mt. Yae,
near <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motobu,_Okinawa" title="Motobu, Okinawa">Motobu Town</a>, or at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakijin_Castle" title="Nakijin Castle">Nakijin Castle</a>.</b></span></div>

</b></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>A more <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Japan" title="History of Japan">ancient</a> form of <i>hanami</i> also exists in Japan, which is enjoying the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plum" title="Plum">plum</a> blossoms (梅 <i><a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ume" title="Ume">ume</a></i>) instead, which is narrowly referred to as <i>umemi</i> <span style="font-weight: normal;">(<span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">梅見</span><span class="t_nihongo_help noprint"><sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Installing_Japanese_character_sets" title="Help:Installing Japanese character sets"><span class="t_nihongo_icon" style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-family: sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 80%; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal; padding: 0px 0.1em; text-decoration: none;"></span></a></sup></span>, plum-viewing)</span>. This kind of <i>hanami</i>
is popular among older people, because they are more calm than the
sakura parties, which usually involve younger people and can sometimes
be very crowded and noisy.</b></span></div>
