The Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival of Greater Philadelphia, a project of
the Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia (JASGP), with tremendous
support from Subaru of America, Inc as title sponsor. The Festival aims to foster a better
understanding of the cultural, social, and educational customs of Japan building
on the JASGP commitment to plant and maintain cherry trees in local parks. To
date, JASGP has planted more than 1,000 cherry trees, supplementing the 1,600
flowering trees presented by the Japanese government as a gesture of friendship
in 1926.
