“We travelled north from London together on the Caledonian Sleeper. The tree got the upper bunk, I had the lower one.”
On 9 August 1945, the second – & so far, last – nuclear weapon used in war fell on Nagasaki. One of the few things to survive the bomb was a persimmon tree. In 2002, the poet Gerry Loose brought a sapling from that tree to Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens

"After experiencing that nightmarish war,
that blood-curdling carnage,
that unendurable horror,
Who could walk away without praying for peace?"-Kitamura Seibō (北村西望 1884-1987).

【 👏Thank you to all our groups who took part in this year's #HiroshimaDay and #NagasakiDay commemorations.They serve as an important reminder of the devastating consequences of nuclear use and why we must not be soothed by talks of by sanitised talk of so-called 'deterrents'. 】

【 At 11.02 on 9 August 1945, the US dropped its second atomic bomb on Japan, this time on the city of #Nagasaki.
On the 78th #NagasakiDay, we remember the 70,000 victims who serve as a harrowing reminder of the humanitarian and environmental cost of nuclear weapons. #NuclearBan 】
