For more than a hundred years, cherry blossoms have signaled the arrival of spring in Washington, DC. They have become symbols of peace and friendship between the United States and Japan. This display, "Sakura: Icon of Spring", features the Library of Congress’s extensive Sakura collections and a new book on the subject.

View the display on the second floor of the Thomas Jefferson Building beginning March 1 through April 24.
