Isn't it time for a new pair of vibrant-colored crew socks? Our Varsity Stripes Cherry Blossom Socks are a real eye-catcher. Adorned with a playful pattern of delicate blossoms set against a bright green background, and a striking red toe. If this doesn't convince, then maybe it's the fact that these are exclusively made for the National Archives Store by a mill in the U.S.A.

Spring in Washington celebrates the cherry trees and their beautiful pink and white flowers that bloom in late March. Every year, Cherry Blossom Festival performers put on a colorful show right in front of the National Archives steps. The majority of the trees are located near the Tidal Basin, where they are most popularly viewed. The Japanese cherry trees were a gift from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo City to the city of Washington on March 27, 1912. The National Archives holds many records related to the United States' relationship with Japan.
