【No. 1198】Hana yori Dango (花より団子 - Dumplings rather than Flowers)
Mar 30, 2018 14:25
The season of cherry blossoms is gradually approaching.
Speaking of cherry blossoms, many Japanese people will image 花見 (hanami - literally "bloom viewing").
Also, 団子 (dango - dumpling) is often prepared while "hanami."
Since a long time ago in Japan, there has been a custom to view cherry blossoms while eating some food such as dumplings.
However, some people might be interested in dumplings than cherry blossoms.
Like this way, when someone chooses a practicable thing such as dumplings over an aesthetic or gracious act, we use the proverb 花より団子 (hana yori dango - literally "dumplings rather than flowers").

花より団子
だんだんと桜の季節が近づいてきました。
桜と言えば、花見です。
そして花見には、団子がつきものです。
日本では古くから、団子などの料理を食べながら花見をする風習があります。
しかし、花見をする人々の中には、団子ばかりに目がいく人がいるかもしれません。
このように、風流よりも実利を選ぶことを、「花より団子」と言います。
