100 YEARS OF BEAUTY & FRIENDSHIP\u3000\uff08FTF, Gail Perkins\u8a18\uff09<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every year at this time, the National Cherry Blossom Festival takes place in our nation’s capital. This Festival commemorates the 1912 gift of 3,000 cherry trees which were sent to Washington D.C. by Tokyo Mayor Yukio Ozaki. This gift, and the annual celebrations that ensued, honor the lasting friendship between the United States and Japan. This year marks the 100 anniversary of this gift of friendship.<\/strong>
\nIt all began with a simple ceremony on March 27, 1912, when First Lady Helen Taft and Viscountess Chinda, wife of the Japanese Ambassador, planted the first two cherry trees on the north bank of the Tidal Basin in West Potomac Park. These original cherry trees, along with many others, turn the Park into clouds of pink each spring. In 1915, the United States Government reciprocated with a gift of flowering Dogwood trees to the people of Japan.<\/strong>
\nIn 1927, a group of Washington D. C. school children reenacted the initial 1912 planting of the trees. Other spring activities also took place on that day, effectively creating the first Festival. The Festival had grown even larger by 1935 and was sponsored by civic groups in the nation’s capital.<\/strong>
\nIn 1965, First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson accepted 3,800 more cherry trees from Japan, And in 1981, the gifting came full circle when Japanese horticulturists were presented with cuttings from the Washington D.C. trees, designed to replace some cherry trees in Japan which had been destroyed in a flood.<\/strong>
\nThe Cherry Blossom Festival was expanded to a two-week event in 1994, to accommodate a diverse activity schedule during the blooming season. Today, more than a million people visit Washington each year to admire the blossoming trees and attend events that herald the beginning of spring. The trees and the American\/Japanese friendship continue to blossom and flourish. <\/strong><\/p>\n
