Cherry Blossoms: The Official Book of the National Cherry Blossom Festival

"For more than 100 years, the National Cherry Blossom Festival has celebrated Japan's grand gesture of international friendship that has made this exquisite springtime experience possible — the original gift of 3,000 cherry trees from the city of Tokyo to the city of Washington, D.C., in 1912."

This stunningly beautiful record of the nation's biggest springtime festival – the National Cherry Blossom Festival – is a breathtaking illustrated memory of the beauty and fragility of spring.

Every year, millions of people from across the country gather in our nation's capital to revel in the beauty of the Cherry Blossoms' blooms.

A beautiful and easy keepsake for visitors of the festival and D.C. locals for years to come. In addition to historical photographs and informative written sections, award-winning photographer Ron Blunt's striking photography fills the pages, capturing both the trees and people in the festivities during the vibrancy of spring.
