Hanami Nativo
Hanami is a Japanese word that refers to the contemplation of the beauty of flowers. Hana means (flower) and mi means the verb miru (to look, to observe).
Since before the Edo period, when the aristocracy already gathered in gardens—like those of present-day Ueno Park—to participate in an elegant and refined ritual, all of Japan celebrates hanami festivals: sitting under cherry blossoms to chat, drink, and eat while the pale pink petals gently fall like flakes on those who contemplate them.
This celebration encloses for the oriental the deepest and poetic reflection, the ephemera beauty that escapes like petals in the air; and that we should celebrate
every day of our lives with pleasure and recognition.
Inspired by this beautiful Japanese tradition I started to honour our marvellous native Buenos Aires trees in the year 2008; a tribute of and during their flowering.
This experience permit ourselves live the experience of contemplate the nature of our city. Every day more people choose to meet this celebrations known as the Hanami Nativo.
