Фестиваль умэ

Фестиваль умэ, or Umé Festival, refers to a cultural event that celebrates the ume (plum) blossom in Japan. Although specific to certain regions, this festival highlights the beauty of ume trees when they bloom, typically in late winter to early spring. The festival often includes various activities such as flower-viewing picnics, traditional performances, and presenting ume-related products, such as umeboshi (pickled plums). The emphasis on the ume blossom also serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of beauty and the arrival of spring.
