Ueno was very famous as a place of cherry blossom from the beginning of the Edo era. There were many species of cherry trees and some trees had even their own names; a typical one of them is the Shushiki Cherry Tree.
In the Genroku period, a daughter named Oaki of a sweet shop in Koamicho, Nihonbashi wrote a Haiku poem, “Cherry blossom near a well is danger by drunken fellows.” This expresses a scene of crowded cherry blossom viewers near a well. She was only 13 years old at that time, but had a pen name of Shushiki. Therefore, this cherry tree near the well was called “The Shushiki Cherry Tree.”
