Cherry Blossom Festival

Sakura no Sekku (Cherry Blossom Festival) 23rd of the Horse
Other Names: Flower Festival (Hana Matsuri)

In Rokugan, everything has its own spirit, as well as its own beauty. Traditional artwork is focused on the quest to capture a thing of perfection - the perfect mountain, the perfect lake, or the perfect cherry tree. The Cherry Blossom Festival is a celebration of this beauty, when the Rokugani gather together for the Hanami, or flower viewing. On this day (and in many places for several days during this season), courts and feasts are held outside, under a canopy of blooming cherry trees.
