In Japan, cherry blossoms or "sakura" are an unmistakable symbol of the arrival of spring. They are supposed to bring peace and tranquility to people's hearts. In 1990, out of joy over the reunification of Germany, the Japanese television station TV-Asahi called for a fundraising campaign to collect money for the planting of Japanese cherry trees in Germany. Enough donations were collected for over 9,000 trees, a large portion of which came to Berlin. The first trees were planted in November 1990 at Glienicke Bridge, a symbolic site of German division. Today, many cherry trees can be found in the former border strip, as well as in parks and public facilities.
