Japanese wisteria

 Wisteria floribunda

The wisteria flowers are the flowers of trees that begin to bloom around the end of April here in Japan. It is a kind of flower with a wide range of cultivation purposes. 

Wisteria floribunda, a common name Japanese wisteria (藤, fuji), is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to Japan. Growing to 9 m (30 ft), it is a woody, deciduous twining climber. It was first brought from Japan to the United States in the 1830s. Since then, it has become one of the most highly romanticized flowering garden plants. It is also a common subject for bonsai, along with Wisteria sinensis (Chinese wisteria). （Cited from Wikipedia）
