About this ebook:
La fioritura dei ciliegi ornamentali, celebrata ogni primavera con il rito dell’Hanami, è per i giapponesi un momento importantissimo, che coincide e accompagna l’inizio di nuovi cicli come l’anno scolastico o quello lavorativo. Una festa estremamente sentita e partecipata che, con l’incanto della sua bellezza, ha ormai conquistato il mondo intero.Ma quello che sembra l’esclusivo risultato di un fenomeno del tutto naturale, nasconde in realtà una storia straordinaria che vede come protagonista un eccentrico gentiluomo inglese, e raffinato botanico, Collingwood – detto «Cherry» – Ingram. È a lui, e alla sua grande passione per i fiori di ciliegio, i sakura, che si deve la sopravvivenza dei ciliegi giapponesi, la loro varietà e la capillare presenza nel paese.Naoko Abe ne ricostruisce la vicenda: i suoi viaggi in Giappone; il suo rendersi conto di come i ciliegi locali si stiano estinguendo lasciando posto a un’unica varietà clonata che s’impone nel paesaggio diventando il simbolo delle ambizioni espansionistiche imperiali, mentre altre varietà rare e spettacolari sono ormai del tutto scomparse; i suoi tentativi di spedire in Giappone varietà curiosamente ancora presenti nel suo giardino inglese.Passione sakura, nel tracciare la storia dei ciliegi ornamentali e dell’uomo che a loro ha dedicato la vita, ci rende partecipi della vita di questi fiori, da emblema dei fasti della corte imperiale, a simbolo della vita effimera dei sudditi nei giorni bui della seconda guerra mondiale, fino all’attuale fascinazione collettiva per un appuntamento iconico
