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 Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art, opened to the public in 1923, a gift to the nation from Charles Lang Freer. The Gallery contains an extensive collection of oriental art, prints, sculpture and silk panels, as well as a major group of 19th and 20th century American works.
