🌸The Flower Festival 🌸

Chapter II

The Harbor

After failing to avoid the temptation of delicious street foods, we came upon the harbor armed with sticks of fried, seasoned, fish and bags of caramelized candies. The warm midday sunshine perfectly countered the cool ocean winds.

Spotting something beneath the water, I rushed to the wooden dock’s edge, peering far as I could to admire the aquatic creature that was carefully poking its head above the surface. Its large beady eyes seemed to stare directly at the fish in my hands while its frill like flippers treaded to keep it afloat.

“Here! Hold this!,” I exclaimed, quickly tossing my snacks into Lumine’s hands and whipping out my journal and pen to record the creature.

Hands overflowing, some of the fish accidentally slipped into the water when Lumine leaned over the edge to admire the creature too, snatched up not a second later by the fanciful, rotund beast, “You know Aether, an earlier warning would be nice.”

“Mhmm,” I automatically responded as I focused on getting the frills just right in my drawing.

As bubbles surfaced, a second, tinier one appeared chirping alongside what seemed like the parent. It swam excitedly in circles. Lumine had to drag me away with tears filling my eyes before I could grab back the rest of my fish to throw to them.

As the festival went on, sailors yelled back and forth loading and unloading their large wooden ships. A group of children pointed excitedly at a particularly well-decorated, red-wooden ship pulling into the harbor with sails larger than any of the others. The crew onboard was bellowing a sea shanty together with their voices growing louder the closer they came, echoing off the nearby hills. I looked over to Lumine who was closing her eyes, enjoying the sounds of the harbor’s harmonic cacophony. I closed my eyes to do the same.

Prunus serrulata var. 'Kanzan' (Japanese flowering cherry) and Apis mellifera (Western honey bee)

Hanami

When people talk about cherry blossoms they usually mean this species, Prunus serrulata, the Japanese flowering cherry. In Japan Hanami (花見, "flower viewing") is the traditional Japanese custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers (花, hana) but it almost always refers to pink flowering cherry trees(桜).

In Vancouver, the history of cherry blossoms dates back to the 1930s. Two of the main Japanese port cities, Kobe and Yokohama, donated 500 trees to the Japanese cenotaph in Stanley Park to honor Japanese Canadians who served in the First World War.

There are now over 45,000 cherry trees in Vancouver. We have an annual Hanami Festival and I think this year's must-see event is the Sakura Days Japan Fair at the Van Dusen Botanical Garden (April 13/14). I'll be there. I think I'll take my camera. I'm hoping for a sunny day.
