Thanks to Dr. Rinny Kooi, a Hiroshima Ginkgo (the sapling raised and gifted by Mr. Hogan in St. Julian de Civry, France) is planted in Leiden’s Blekerspark. The ceremony was attended by Leiden councilor Ashley North, and the director of Sieboldhouse / Japan Museum Mrs Kris Schiermeijers. Many newspapers paid attention and the Siebold house’s website carried the story and the history of Hiroshima.
