Beautiful Japanese Word of the Day #13
花あかり (Hana Akari)
”Hana Akari refers to when fully bloomed cherry blossoms make the night seem brighter than usual”
花 (hana/ka) means flower in Japanese
あかり (akari) means light in Japanese
The cherry blossoms under the moonlight make the petals glow and light the night sky.
Writer’s note: Cherry blossoms probably became my favorite flower ever since I moved to Japan. I never really thought of going at night, but this year I will make sure to visit night cherry blossoms.
