Description
Every spring since 1912, cherry blossom petals have blanketed pathways around the Potomac River and heralded the arrival of spring. In our National Museum of Asian Art Japanese collections, cherry blossoms are a frequent symbol of friendship and new beginnings. Keep a souvenir of the cherry trees' momentary magic with this handcrafted torchwork glass ornament.
Museum Story
The National Museum of Asian Art is a global resource for understanding Asian arts, cultures, and societies and their intersection with the United States. Opened in 1923 as the country's first national art museum, it now stewards one of the world's best collections of Asian art, which date from antiquity to the present, from China, Japan, Korea, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Ancient Near East, and the Islamic world (including Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa). The museum also holds an important array of 19th- and early 20th-century American art of the Aesthetic Movement.
