Tree planting and accompanying program
As part of the international project KAKI – The Tree of Life, we will mark the symbolic planting of a persimmon tree – a tree of hope, peace, and resilience – during the week of October 6 to 8. The persimmon tree that survived the atomic bombing of Nagasaki has become a universal symbol of rebirth and connection.
We invite you to join us for a series of events that bring together art, nature, and a message of peace, and to take part in the official tree planting.
