「砂入さん、 今はニューヨークですか。暑いそうですね。 被爆青桐、被爆青桐二世（平和資料館東館北側にある）の種を発芽させ、今、育てています。最近、資料館売店でこの種を20円（5個）で頒布していて、入手しました。５つ植えているのですが、現在、３つが葉をだしました。 もうひとつはセトラにおいてあります。 では」 –––竹澤 "Hi, Mr Sunairi. Are you in NY now? It sounds like it is really hot there. I bought some seeds of Hibaku Chinese Parasol Tree at Hiroshima Peace memorial Museum for 30 cents for 5 seeds and now I am growing them. I planted 5 seeds altogether, then three of them sprouted. The other Parasol seedling is at Cetra, my friend's place. Hope you are well." ---Yuso Takesawa Summer 2010 (from left) Dr. Horiguchi, Hiroshi Sunairi and a new Chinese Parasol Tree given by Dr. Horiguchi to Yuso Takesawa.
