Hiroshima, Japan: Yuso Takesawa's newly sprouted Chinese Parasol Tree 新しい被爆青桐二世誕生



「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."
