Project Assessment
Not as long as it might be, but certainly more than just an overview, and containing very interesting historical bits I hadn't known. Thanks! LordAmeth 09:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I just consulted this article to inform myself about the Japanese cherry blossom tradition. The introduction and following "Today" sections are redundant in places.

I do not know enough about this topic to do any editing, but just bringing it to someone's future attention.BillDeeUS (talk) 12:35, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Simple english article
The Simple english article is much longer. Someone interested in the subject could maybe lift something from there to this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.115.118.90 (talk) 10:21, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Dumplings rather than Flowers
"The teasing proverb 'dumplings rather than flowers' hints at the real priorities for most cherry blossom viewers."

What is this referring to? It is unclear.

Outside Japan
This section needs work:
 * 1)  "Very popular" sounds a bit excessive for the US.  Are there really Hanami in most states and cities?
 * 2) The two places in US listed can't both be the biggest, but the one that has the largest numbers has a dead link
 * 3) Unless the trees are Japanese trees they should be called cherry trees, not sakura.
