Hanami Cherry Blossom Festival
Contact
Hanami is a Japanese tradition in which people gather to enjoy the blooming of cherry blossoms, also known as sakura.
Wereldmuseum Leiden celebrates Hanami with a varied programme for all ages. The cherry trees at the entrance were gifted to the museum by Japan many years ago. In Japan, the blossom symbolises impermanence, new beginnings and appreciating the present moment.
