　 In Washington D.C., the capital of the United States of America, there are famous cherry trees along the Potomac river which were a gift from Japan. Thousands of residents and visitors used to visit here on the occasion of the Cherry Blossom Festival. It became an annual week-long event at the peak of the bloom, the end of March and into April. Many events were organized and sponsored by civic groups, and one of the highlight events used to be the selection of the Cherry Blossom Princess from every state.

I am happy to inform you that the stocks of these trees were produced in Itami in 1910. The history of the cherry trees is that the scions of these trees were taken from a famous collection on the bank of the Arakawa River in Adachi Ward,Tokyo. At the request of the Tokyo government, all of the stocks of wild cherry root for grafting were prepared at Higashino village where is located in the north of Itami.

I am proud of these historical facts, that the "roots" of the cherry trees are related to our city history and wish to keep these historical assets for the next generation to wish everlasting friendship between the United States of America and Japan.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all members of the group "GLIMPSE" who are investigating the history of our home town.
