The National Cherry Blossom Festival is a two-week celebration commemorating the gift of thousands of cherry trees from the Mayor of Tokyo, Yukio Ozaki, to the United States in 1912. In addition to representing the friendship between the two countries, the festival has come to symbolize the arrival of Spring and the beauty of our nation’s capital. In 1915, the U.S. reciprocated with a gift of flowering dogwood trees to the people of Japan.
