'Hanami' (花見) represents the ancient Japanese tradition of flower viewing. In this theme, 'Hanami' specifically refers to the 'Sakura' or cherry blossom festival. It features a dynamic day to night cycle set in a fully 3-D environment, with constantly shifting lighting conditions. Together, these create five unique set-pieces which include dawn, midday, dusk, night, and midnight scenery. Random flurries of cherry blossoms, a swarm of fireflies, distant birdcalls and the gentle roar of the shifting mountain winds are added touches that further bring the the evolving landscape to life. Content screen icon customization features traditional Japanese ink-wash painting, or sumi-e (墨絵), on shōji (障子), translucent paper windows.

The included preview demonstrates these changes at an accelerated pace for demonstration purposes only. The actual theme's visual effects will shift at specific times, governed by your PS4™ system's internal clock.

Note: This theme now supports system software 3.0 and above, with a new events icon.
