About the Book

The Cherry Blossom Festival: Sakura Celebration includes the story of the ornamental trees’ cultivation and significance in Japan for more than 1000 years, how they came to the U.S. and their importance as representatives of Japanese and American friendship. It includes listings of important cherry blossom tree collections and other significant viewing sites throughout the U.W. and Japan.
Cherry blossoms are explored as symbols in Japanese art and artifacts, and in images of Japonism found in Western art. Extensive illustrations complement the intriguing stories of how Japanese cherry blossom trees came to be planted around the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., and of the development of the National Cherry Blossom Festival, which honors the trees and their extraordinary beauty.
The Cherry Blossom Festival: Sakura Celebration, published by Bunker Hill Publishing, is sure to enlighten and entertain everyone touched by the cherry blossoms’ transcendent beauty and delighted by the festivals that honor them.
