You brought up a lot of interesting points. First off I totally agree about the interesting background on the Cherry Blossoms! I had an idea/rumor about their origins, but I never knew why they were there or what they represented. I hope to go to DC in the near future to explore all the neat hidden National Treasures just like Nicolas Cage did in the movie. j/k

On your second note, I had the same thought. Yes there were atrocities in Korea and history does note them and frankly govts are cautious of acknowledging them but what about the next generation? Do they care, are they informed? are they proactive? I'm not even sure what the average Korean or Japanese student may think of one another. Yes there is trade and ideas are exchanged, but I would like to know whats on their minds 😛
