# 2022 National Cherry Blossom Festival

While the 1912 gift of cherry blossom trees from the city of Tokyo to Washington, D.C. is an enduring symbol of the U.S.-Japan friendship, former Japanese Ambassador Hirosi Saito also played an important role in our friendship in the 1930s. Mari Nakahara, co-author of the book, "Cherry Blossom: Sakura Collections from the Library of Congress" will introduce the Library collections related to Ambassador Saito.
