    The Importance of Japan's Cherry Blossoms In the northeastern United States, autumn is particularly colorful. Leaves changes from green to red and orange, and many Americans take scenic fall foliage trips. In Japan, similar phenomenon takes place in the spring. Cherry trees erupt in a shower of pink , and the entire country celebrates the arrival of the sakura, or cherry blossoms .

Towns and businesses popped up to accommodate the growing population, but a problem remained: how to communicate across the vast reaches of the United States. Three Businessmen thought they had an answer: faster mail delivery via the Pony Express, a relay system of horses and riders. The Pony Express made its first delivery on April 14th, 1860.
