About The Event

Visitors of Planet Word will be invited to participate in the “Wishing Tree” for the duration of the National Cherry Blossom Festival. Over time, a large cherry blossom tree will begin to form with hundreds of pink paper petals. Guests will select a poem from the collection of poetry, write it on a slip of paper, and place it inside an origami paper petal “pocket” that is adhered to the branches of the cherry blossom tree. At the end of the festival, the petals will be passed on to visitors in the museum as a symbol of friendship.
