Hello. I'm Hanes, an active correspondent.
I had the opportunity to visit Nagano Prefecture a while ago.
At that time, I went to see willows in Ginza in Iiyama City, which was introduced in the 2018 article "Encounter with Willows of Ginza Nisei" by correspondent and senior marathon senior Nyanboku.

The willows are planted on and around the premises of Mayumi Takahashi Ningyokan.
On the signboard standing beside the willow has the word "Ginza's Yanagi Nisei"!

The stone monument of "The Origin of Ginza Niseiyanagi in Atago-cho" was engraved with episodes of Edmond Morrel and Mrs. Kino, who contributed to the construction of the railway between Shimbashi and Yokohama.
Professor Kisuke Watanabe of Tokyo Institute of Technology talked to Mr. Kazuji Shiiba (Chairman of Ginza Gomon-dori) and Yasuo Katsumata (Chairman of Ginza Kinharu-dori), who have raised the second generation of "Ginza's willow", and talked about Morrel's contribution to Japan and the sad story of the couple.
It is said that Mrs. Watanabe taught in detail what Mrs. Kino was Mr. Juichiro Furuta of Iiyama City (Chairman of Atago Teramachi Tsukuroukai), who was once involved in compiling the 100-year history of the Japanese National Railways. .

"Thank you to the distant Mororu couple, thank Dr. Furuta, and pray for the development and long-lasting exchange of each town development at Atago Teramachi and Ginza Gomon-dori Kinharu-dori, far away from the distance, Millennium In the spring of 2000, Ginza Nisei willow was given to this area and beautiful buds were blown. "
I was able to learn about the relationship between willow in Ginza and Iiyama City that I was worried about.

On the street leading from Mayumi Takahashi Ningyokan to Iiyama Castle Ruins Park, more than five splendid Ginza willows were planted, giving a presence.
When you go near you, please take a look at these willows up close.♪
