A beautiful gift book commemorating the nation's most cherished
springtime tradition, the National Cherry Blossom Festival, through
original works of art from the Library of Congress collections
Experience the splendor of the annual spring viewing of the
nation's sakura (cherry blossoms) with this stunning keepsake book.
Original artwork, photographs, and objects from the Library of
Congress collections illuminate the story of these landmark trees
and how they came to the nation's capital as a symbol of friendship
with Japan. More than one million visitors from the US and abroad
gather each year to enjoy Washington's glorious profusion of
cloud-like blossoms and join in the festivities. Cherry Blossoms:
Sakura Collections from the Library of Congress showcases exquisite
watercolor drawings of blossom varieties among the original cherry
trees, Japanese woodblock prints by such master artists as Kiyonaga
and Hiroshige, early 3-D stenographs and contemporary photos of the
Tidal Basin cherry blossoms, mementos from a former cherry blossom
princess, posters of the festival, and more. These works offer the
opportunity to explore Japanese culture while celebrating
Washington's beloved cherry blossoms.
