The trees symbolized the growing friendship between the two nations. On March 27, 1912, First Lady Helen Herron Taft, wife of then President Howard Taft, and Viscountess Chinda, wife of the Japanese ambassador (大使), planted the first two cherry trees on the north bank of the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C.

After floods washed away the countrys Yoshino cherry trees in the early 1980s, Japan collected more than 800 cuttings from cherry trees near Tidal Basin to replace those that were lost.Growing a festivalThe festival began in 1935 as a three-day celebration. In 1994, it was extended to two weeks, to make time for the Cherry Blossom Princess and Cherry Blossom Queen programmes, cultural shows, tours, sporting events and exhibitions. Today, the festival has come to symbolize the beginning of spring.
