Cherry blossoms, the flower most familiar to Japanese people, are associated with Japanese life in many ways beyond the cherry blossom viewing season, including as the subject of songs and the design on the front of the 100-yen coin.
Sakura sakura” is a traditional Japanese song.
Although often described as an ancient Japanese song, it was actually written in Edo (Tokyo) at the end of the Edo period (1603-1867) as an introductory piece for children to play the koto (Japanese harp), and its author is unknown.
Originally, the lyrics of the song were “cherry blossoms in bloom,” but the graceful melody of the song was so popular that the present lyrics were added to the song after the Meiji period (1868-1912).
There are two versions of the lyrics, one revised in 1941 and the other in 1941, and some textbooks use the newer lyrics.
It is often sung on international occasions, and is a representative Japanese song that has spread throughout the world.
