An Essay | My sample tree

my sample cherry tree

 I heard last week that cherry trees were in bloom in Tokyo. Though I live within 100 kilometers from the center of Tokyo, I have not yet seen the cherry trees in bloom near my house. 
 The picture above is the picture I took in the park near my house today. The cherry tree that I designate to be my sample tree is about to bloom, but I have to wait for a couple of days till I see it in full bloom. 
  It is often said that Japanese people love cherry blossoms. Have you ever thought the reason why?
 These are my hypotheses. 
 Firstly, cherry blossoms can be seen in almost every part of Japan. 
 Secondly, the verb "saku"("bloom") and the noun "sakura"("cherry") have the same sound in common. When you say "Sakura-Saku," you alliterate in spite of yourselves. Mu-hu-hu😄. 
 Joking aside, the cherry blossom is the harbinger of spring in Japan. In addition to that, when you see cherry petals scatter in the air, they always remind you of the past goneby. In this sense, cherry petals may be the relics of your dreams in disguise.
