Savor the Cherry Blossom with the Louis Voitton Cherry Blossom Papillon
There are many stories of folklore behind the blossoms on a cherry tree, and they are highly revered in Japan. In 1912, a gift of 3000 trees were sent to Washington DC where they have been blossoming each year ever since.
In Japan, festivals honoring the cherry tree can be seen throughout the different regions and are widely renowned as the rite of spring. To see an authentic Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival in is to head to the Pacific shores of Hawaii.
The Honolulu Cherry Blossom Festival is the next best thing to get a sample of the pink flowers blossoming closer to home. First held in 1949, Hawaiians and visitors look forward to the culture and heritage celebrations of this Japanese favorite each year.
Events take place in various locations throughout the Hawaiian Islands and not only in Honolulu. You never know who you may run into here as celebrities who have second homes in Hawaii include Matt Damon, Kelsey Grammar, Oprah Winfrey, Cate Blanchett, Ben Stiller, and Pierce Bronson.
The festival finale during the grand Festival Ball, crowns one lucky participant as the Cherry Blossom Festival Queen. Other events during this 60 day celebration include heritage displays, fashion shows, a golf tournament and traditional Japanese musical performances.
