Ed_Morris Professional Poster Registered: 11/04/05 Posts: 6768	sakura = cherry hana = flower/blossom hanami = flower festival hanabi = fireworks display (always thought that connection was interesting....I can't look at fireworks now without thinking 'flower'...before I used to think of the word 'explosion'.) another difference of perception between two cultures. just remembered too...when the kids were growing up, in Japanese they called them 'hanabi'...in English they called them 'FlowahWorks'.
