Project Assessment

[edit]

Not as long as it might be, but certainly more than just an overview, and containing very interesting historical bits I hadn't known. Thanks! LordAmeth 09:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just consulted this article to inform myself about the Japanese cherry blossom tradition. The introduction and following "Today" sections are redundant in places.

I do not know enough about this topic to do any editing, but just bringing it to someone's future attention.BillDeeUS (talk) 12:35, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Simple english article

[edit]

The Simple english article is much longer. Someone interested in the subject could maybe lift something from there to this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.115.118.90 (talk) 10:21, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Dumplings rather than Flowers

[edit]

"The teasing proverb 'dumplings rather than flowers' hints at the real priorities for most cherry blossom viewers."

What is this referring to? It is unclear.

Outside Japan

[edit]

This section needs work:

  1. "Very popular" sounds a bit excessive for the US. Are there really Hanami in most states and cities?
  2. The two places in US listed can't both be the biggest, but the one that has the largest numbers has a dead link
  3. Unless the trees are Japanese trees they should be called cherry trees, not sakura.

National Trust pilot

Hello! During late June, July and some of August, I'm working on a paid project sponsored by the National Trust to review and enhance coverage of NT sites. You can find the pilot edits here, as well as a statement and contact details for the National Trust. I am leaving this message when I make a first edit to a page; please do get in touch if you have any concerns. Lajmmoore (talk) 08:18, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question

[edit]

In the second paragraph, is there a specific reason kanō (観桜) and yozakura (夜桜) have the same second japanese character in kanji even though the sounds are different or is that a mistranslation? QueerCB97 (talk) 21:54, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The transliteration is not incorrect.
Most kanji have multiple readings. The character for cherry-blossom 桜 has the kun'yomi reading sakura (さくら), which through rendaku becomes zakura (ざくら) in the compound yozakura (夜桜, よざくら, lit. night cherry-blossom). However, in the compound kanō (観桜, かんおう, lit. viewing cherry-blossom), the on'yomi reading of 桜 is used, which is ō (おう).
Why is it like this? The simple answer is that it's just how it is. Generally, though, while most compound words the "imported" on'yomi readings for their kanji, compound words which are to do with the natural world tend to use the "native" kun'yomi. As a final example, the title of this page, hanami (花見, はなみ) uses kun'yomi readings for both characters. An on'yomi reading of the same compound would probably be something like kagen (かげん). — Jumbo T (talk) 12:11, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
