Brief Introduction of Japanese Folk Song "Sakura"

Sakura is the national flower of Japan. Japan's "Edo Sakura" is a famous cherry blossom. Every spring, when it blooms white or red flowers on hairy pedicels, three to five flowers form an umbrella, and thousands of inflorescences become a sea of flowers, which is really beautiful. Cherry blossoms, a folk song, vividly and truly show the joy and interest of Japanese people who cherish cherry blossoms in the spring of March to go to the mountain cemetery to watch cherry blossoms. Although it has only fourteen short bars, its musical image is very distinct. This piece of music is based on the Japanese folk "Du Jie mode" and has a strong national flavor. Cherry Blossom is often adapted into instrumental music in the form of duet, chorus, solo and ensemble.
