The Gift of Cherry Blossoms

On April 1, 1912, a group of Japanese businessmen and officials from Tokyo came to The United States Capital, Washington, D.C. to plant cherry trees as a gift to the U.S.

The gift was part of an effort to establish lasting goodwill between the United States and Japan during what has been called the “friendly era” of diplomatic relations between the two countries (1854-1912).

The original goal was to plant around 3,000 cherry trees in Washington but they were unable to find 3,000 perfectly straight trees and ended up planting around 2,000 trees in several locations in Washington D.C.

Many of these trees are still present today and a popular destination for both people living in the United States and tourists from other Countries.
