15 August 1945 is the date that the UK celebrates as #VJDay: victory over Japan in #WorldWarII.
Yesterday, in the National Arboretum in Washington, I saw this #bonsai tree. The Japanese White Pine (Pinus parviflora 'Miyajima') survived the #atombomb at #Hiroshima. The Yamaki family, which had tended the tree since the 17th century, donated it to the United States as part of a bicentennial gift from the people of #Japan in 1976.
