HANAMI: A Flowering Celebration! The beginning of spring (March-April) is a very special time in Japan, because this is when
Japan's famous cherry trees come into flower. The Japanese celebrate this happy time with
festivals and flower-viewing parties.
At the end of winter, everyone's excitement starts to grow. The whole country wants to know the
day when the cherry flowers ("sakura") will appear. Starting in February, weathermen try to
guess when this day will be.
When the first flowers open on the trees, national joy starts.. There are rides and games for
children in the streets, music and dance performances, tea ceremonies, flower displays, and much
more.
But the most special thing that people do at this time is have "hanami" parties. Hanami means
flower watching. In hanami parties, families and friends take a picnic and go and sit under a
cherry tree to look and admire the flowers. Hanami parties take place during the daytime and
also at night, because when it is dark, lights light up the cherry trees.

fashion is a thought process. it is not just pretty dresses. fashion is a reflection of our lives. it reflects economical crises or success, political, social movements etc. fashion is not about appearance so much, as it is about ideas. idea, concept- is what valuable in fashion. the dress could be from the plane paper, but at the same time incredible. strong concept (idea) - that is what makes true fashion.

мода- это когнитивный процесс. это не только симпатичные платья. мода - это отражение нашей жизни. она отражает падение или процветание, политические и социальные движения и тогдалие . мода- это не столько видимость, сколько идея. идея, концепт- вот что ценно в моде. платье может быть выполнено из простой бумаги, но в то же время быть невероятным. сильный концепт- вот что делает настоящую моду.
