Cherry trees famously bloom in the spring for the Japanese every year. But this year, the beautiful event was early.
A university researcher says that she found documentation of the peak flowering date all the way back to 812 A.D. in the Kyoto area. This year's flowering peak was the earliest ever recorded - March 26.
More than one factor affects the event, but it's thought that higher temperatures are responsible for the trend toward earlier and earlier flowering.
It only lasts a few days and it is celebrated.
