Two Weeks in the Life of the D.C. Blossoms
The Sakura Matsuri, a day-long street festival, celebrated its 41st year April 6. The festival attracts about 40,000 visitors annually. It was held on 12th Street at the Federal Triangle Metro, between Constitution and Pennsylvania avenues. Performing arts groups from the United State and Japan were on hand, and artisans and workshops introduced traditional and contemporary arts. In addition, martial arts were demonstrated, traditional Japanese food was sold, and children found storytelling, origami and calligraphy to keep them busy.
