Tree Planting Ceremony at Tōgō Memorial
On November 22, 2020, there was a planting ceremony for a sapling grown from Togo’s Ginkgo in Kagoshima City. At the ceremony, the head of the Japan British Society of Kagoshima, Shimazu Kimiyasu, gave a speech describing the donated saplings as deepening historic bonds between Britain and Kagoshima. “This further highlights the connections made by Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō [a native of the Satsuma domain, the original home of the ginkgo] and Japanese Consul Ueno Kagenori during their stay in Britain, and I pray that planting this new tree will help deepen the bonds between Kagoshima and Britain.” Tōgō, admiral of the former Imperial Japanese Navy, was born in what is now the city of Kagoshima, and a sapling from Tōgō’s Ginkgo was planted in a section of Tagayama Park, which also houses a bronze statue of the admiral, and a cemetery where a lock of his hair is buried.
