Thank you for the beautiful cherry blossoms! Sakura is the very spirit of the Japanese. It is a symbolic flower that leads to Bushido. I hope that Americans can feel the peace of mind in the chaotic world😊🌸 美しい桜をありがとうございます。 桜は日本人の精神そのものです。武士道に通ずる象徴的な花です。 この混沌とした世の中に、ひと時の安らぎをアメリカの皆様が感じられることを願っています😊🌸

They are from Korea as Japan invaded and annexed Korea in 1910, several years before the trees came to DC in 1912. Mobs of angry Americans called to destroy the trees during WW2 until they were reminded that the trees were from Korea by representatives of those opposing Japan’s unlawful occupation of the Korean peninsula and America’s acquiescence.
