🌸 30 cherry blossom trees have been planted at the #UfoStirling's campus as a mark of the friendship between the University and Japan. Senior representatives from Stirling and Nagasaki University who signed a Memorandum of Understanding last year, were joined by Consulate General of Japan in Edinburgh Katsutoshi Takeda, and Cultural Consul Masataka Abe for an unveiling ceremony - with a plaque installed at one of the planting sites beside the Beech Court student accommodation. The 30 trees being planted are some of over 8,000 Japanese cherry trees – or Sakura in Japanese – given to the UK by Japan, and planted across the country in parks, gardens and schools to celebrate the country’s relationship with the UK. The project is entirely funded by Japanese businesses and individuals and managed by the Sakura Cherry Tree Project. Full story ⬇️ https://brnw.ch/21x3FVD Embassy of Japan in the UK
