The International Shinto Foundation, Inc.was invited to participate in the annual "Cherry Blossom Festival" in Washington, DC on April 9th, which was sponsored by the America-Japan Association. As one of many organizations, ISF was honored to be at the event, which celebrates the gift of the magnificent cherry blossom trees from Japan to Washington, DC. ISF was provided a booth for an opportunity to meet and distribute information about Shinto to the hundreds of visitors of the Festival who were enjoying the beauty of the fully-bloomed trees throughout the area. We displayed photo album of ISF events, including photos of Ise Shrine, ICDC events. Many were interested in our ICDC (753) event that takes place annually in NY as we distributed flyers, applications and brochures in hopes of encouraging interest in our sponsoring ICDC in the DC area.
