撮影：April 2017 「花吹雪（桜吹雪）」とは、桜の花びらが吹雪のように乱れ舞い散ることいいます。日本では、古来「花」の一語が、特に俳句や和歌の世界においては「桜」を意味する例が見られ、とくに「花吹雪」といった場合には、満開の桜が吹雪のように散る様子を指します。桜の季節には、満開が過ぎて花吹雪のシーンには大勢の人々が．散る咲くに感銘します。今回は千鳥ヶ淵、飛鳥山、石神井川、新宿御苑の花吹雪を紹介します。

parts of hanami.
“hanafubuki” is the Japanese word which describes the beautiful moment when cherry blossom petals are blowing in the wind. This is arguably the best part of
the japanese cherry blossom season.
