Birth commemorative tree planting
Chuo-ku has been planting a birth commemorative tree since 1989 to commemorate the birth. Chuo-ku is divided into four locations, and the Tsukishima and Tsukudajima areas are Ishikawajima Park, the Nihonbashi area is Hamacho Park, the Kyobashi area is Tepposhu Children's Park (Tsukiji River Park this year), and the Kachidoki area has been planting trees at Harumi Kachidoki since 2002. The type of tree has been planting cherry blossoms since 2002, but before that, laurel trees and willows were not decided. Currently, Oshima cherry blossoms are planted in Kachidoki Harumi Rinkai Park and others are planted in Yoshino cherry tree. The photo above is a tree planting commemorating the birth of Tsukiji River Park. A metal plate is attached to the tree, and the name of the person born is listed. At the end of January, a postcard will be mailed to those born between January and December of the previous year, and 60 to 70% of them will receive a reply and the name of the approved child will be listed.
The photo above is a commemorative tree planting at the Paris Square in Ishikawajima Park. A metal plate is attached to the tree. The fact that the name remains in this way can be conveyed to the children the local love that they were born in Chuo-ku, and the sign that they were born in Chuo-ku even if they grow up and move elsewhere. In this interview, we talked at the Water and Green Division of the Environment and Civil Engineering Department of Chuo-ku government office. Thank you very much.
