Cherry blossom in Hwaeomsa, South Korea
Cherry blossoms at POSTECH, South Korea
Watching of cherry blossom was introduced to Korea during Japanese rule.[37] The festivals continued even after the Japanese surrendered in WWII, but have been contentious, and many cherry trees have been destroyed because they were seen as symbols of the occupation.[38] However, there has been considerable confusion about the origin of the cultivated Japanese cherry trees and the differences between them and native Korean trees (see the Origin debates section in Prunus × yedoensis for the details).[39][40] Certain trees at Seoul's Gyeongbok Palace were cut down to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Japanese surrender in World War II.[41] Although Cherry blossoms are already indigenous to Korea, Japan had planted trees on sacred and provocative locations in the Palace. Once the offending trees were cut down the festival continued with the indigenous trees. The cherry blossom festival at Gyeongbok Palace is one of a number of such festivals across Korea and is prominently advertised to tourists.[42]
