Two huge hanami gatherings planted the seeds for the grand style of hanami (cherry blossom viewing) that is still enjoyed to this day in Japan. In 1594, Hideyoshi Toyotomi held a five-day hanami party for 5000 people in Yoshino, Nara Prefecture. Four years later, he held another hanami event for about 1,300 people at Kyoto’s Daigo Temple, where he had 700 cherry trees planted. Hideyoshi was a preeminent daimyo, warrior, general, samurai, and politician of the Sengoku period who is regarded as one of Japan’s great unifiers. The lavish style of flower-viewing is typical to Hideyoshi’s time and characterises the hanami of the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1568-1600).
