What it's about: After falling in love with the Sakura during a visit to Japan in 1907, Collingwood Ingram returned to England with hundreds of cuttings. He eventually sent over 100 different varieties to enthusiasts around the globe, thereby preserving the Cherry Blossoms we enjoy today. Why it's important: In the face of looming extinction of the Great White Cherry, Ingram's infatuation revitalized it's presence in Japan and beyond. Reviewer's say: “A splendid gift: at once a moving personal account as well as a cultural, social and political history of a turbulent period in world history.” —Nature
