tree project

In Spanish: "Las semillas como recipientes de memoria, pero también como fuentes de resiliencia, conforman el proyecto que Hiroshi Sunairi lleva desarrollando d esde 2005, el Tree Project, en el que se han involucrado casi quinientas personas de veintitrés países diferentes. En Hiroshima se contaba que tras el fatal bombardeo de EEUU de 1945 la población no esperaba que algo pudiera florecer hasta pasados setenta y cinco años. Sin embargo, de los restos de los árboles quemados comenzaron a surgir brotes y esto dió mucho ánimo a la gente en un momento de profunda desesperanza. A estos árboles se les conoce como hibakujumoku (árboles bombardeados / árboles supervivientes). Sunairi recolecta sus semillas para distribuirlas a lo largo del planeta, y realiza el seguimiento de los participantes a través de la web del proyecto ( http://treeproject.blogspot.com )" http://campoderelampagos.org/critica-y-reviews/7/10/2017

Dear Hiroshi! Amazing how the sprout is growing, each two days a new leaf appears! There photos are from yesterday Sunday September 3 rd 2017, I measured the height of the ginkgo from the earth level, 18 cm. Kind alberto Hiroshi It keeps growing, each two days, a new little leaf, and goes upwards...!!! The two other seeds are still sleeping, we will wait! Kind alberto Hi Hiroshi All onwards with the gingko sprout, this coming Saturday sept 23rd we will take it to our greenhouse coach/ counselor, to help us to put the sprout in a larger pot, since the sprout is already 20 cm high, and the pot is 15 cm Deep, so we think it will be better to move the sprout to a larger pot, to be more confortable the roots to expand Kind Alberto

Growing steady! ---Graciela

Dear Hiroshi / Adriana First gingko seed seems now showing the first hint of a sprout today august 9 th . It is white, so I do not know yet if it is a root or a green sprout (to orientate the seed properly, down or up). How amazing  and how quickly it germinated, the jar was prepared on July 29 th , just 11 days ago. I will keep you posted, I have the jar in the kitchen with a light that is on the 24 hours, every night when I arrive back from the office, I rotate the jar so the three seeds receive in turn, the light over them.

Alerto and Adriana, Hi, one of the participants' sister, Adriana is traveling back to Argentina with a handful of Hibaku Ginkgo seeds to Argentina on airplane. I asked her to take enough for herself, her friends and you, Alberto, so please contact each other to make an arrangements to pick up. Adriana said she is close to Tigre. The rest, you guys can talk in email to make it happen. She said she was flying on coming Wed. She can inform you, Alberto more about the timing. I think you guys can split the seeds so there are enough for both sides. Good Luck Hiroshi Sunairi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Hiroshi wonderful news !! We will expect about Adriana news . Adriana, I work at Troncos del Talar, the Parque Industrial Tigre, so when you have settled down after your trip, please called me and we will arrange meeting As w

Dear Hiroshi, I just wanted to thank you again for participating in Hybris exhibition. The show is being a total success, we are already getting a lot of press (unfortunately only national press, it´s hard to get international press here). Even on TV,  actually one of the best cultural programs in Spain, Metrópolis, is going to make a special program on the show. So I am really happy! And people love your project.  I also wanted to let you know that next week I will be in Miami teaching a workshop on eco-aesthetics. Link here http://www.artcentersf.org/ ecoaesthetics-rethinking- environmental-aesthetics/ And I will speak about your project too.  In the meantime I send you a pic of the other tree, the one planted in the garden ;) "HYBRIS. A Possible Approach to Ecoaesthetics" (curated by  Blanca de la Torre) 17 June, 2017 - 7 January, 2018 at  MUSAC (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León) http://musac.es/#exposiciones

Hi Hiroshi,  Finally!!! One sprouted. The other one still in 'coma' state.  Regards, JL Ng

Hello Hiroshi How are you doing these days. I notice that you are doing wonderful things, meeting exciting people and enjoying life to the hilt. Am happy for you. I have finally managed to locate a friend to send me a photo of my prized hibaku. Hope you will like it nestled in the midst of Singapore's luxuriant flora. It is looking good don't you agree? This friend is keen on growing hibaku too, would you be able to spare us some more seeds? Do you think this would be possible. Looking forward to hearing from you.   Wish you all the best Marianne
