Spring is that moment when cherry blossom enthusiasts flock to places like Japan and South Korea to enjoy the beautiful blooms of the pale pink flower.

Sure, the flower – known as sakura in Japanese – comes in other colours too, like white and yellow, but there is just something about the pink variety that lends a sense of romanticism to life.
