I enjoy the taste and the colors of cherries, and for some
reason, also enjoy painting them. I decided on a whim to look online to see
what cherries symbolize in different cultures and was delighted to find that,
depending on the culture (primarily either Japanese or Chinese culture), they
are associated with beauty, fertility, festivities, rebirth, immortality, and
have been used as symbols of friendship. When the cherry tree blossoms in
Japan, it is a time for festivals, food, and music. We used to celebrate a cherry blossom festival
every spring thanks to a Japanese company nearby who would invite the general
public to celebrate the blossoming of all of their cherry trees. It was fun for
everyone as there were arts and crafts, food, music, and dance, and of course
the absolutely gorgeous cherry trees.
So here’s
hoping that this weekend brings you a little beauty, food, and festivities!
Happy
Weekend!
