"七転び八起き"-(Always rising after a fall) is a Japanese proverb literally translated to, "fall seven times and stand up eight," and meaning, "When life knocks you down, stand back up / Keep trying,"-from Wikipedia. Support Japan in their time of need as they are always supporting others.
One of my submissions for the 1000 Cranes for Japan group and just a visual representation of my support. I'll be physically helping by sending the cranes I make to Paper Cranes for Japan to raise $2 per crane (money generously donated by Bezos Family Foundation) to help reach the goal of 100,000 cranes and $200,000 donated. The money donated from the Bezos Family Foundation will go towards reconstruction efforts in Japan by Architecture for Humanity.
I have also sent this photo in an email to 1000cranes@miyacompany.com because for every crane picture sent, the Miya Company will donate $5 to Save the Children to aid in their relief and recovery effort in Japan.

"O corpo existe e pode ser pego. E é suficientemente opaco para que se possa vê-lo."
Arnaldo Antunes
In 'Movimento VIII'
2000
- Trabalho pedagógico com crianças carentes a beira da vulnerabilidade social que partilham, na maioria, histórias de exclusão, abuso e solidão... histórias tristes escondidas por trás de sorrisos tímidos e olhares curiosos. Grande parte delas, filhas de recicladores, desempregados, presidiários. São moradores de um pequeno bairro as margens da cidade. São crianças que lutam por visibilidade e ainda acreditam em um futuro.
- Esta não é apenas uma brincadeira de criança... é uma caça por comida. Pombos.

In 'Moviment VIII'
2000
- Pedagogical work with poor children on the verge of social vulnerability that they share, mostly, histories of exclusion, abuse and loneliness ... sad stories hidden behind shy smiles and curious eyes. Most of them are sons of recyclers, unemployed, prisoners. They are residents of a small neighborhood in the edge of town. They are children who struggle for visibility and still believe in the future.
- This is not just child's play ... is a hunt for food. Doves.

The Baloch alternative transliterations Baluch, Balouch, Bloach, Balooch, Balush, Balosh, Baloosh, Baloush) are an Iranian people inhabiting the region of Balochistan in the southeast corner of the Iranian plateau in Southwest Asia, including parts of Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
The Baloch speak Balochi, which is a northwestern Iranian language. They mainly inhabit mountainous terrains, which have allowed them to maintain a distinct cultural identity and resist domination by neighbouring rulers. The Baloch are predominantly Muslim, with most belonging to the Hanafi school of thought of Sunni Islam, but there are also a significant number belonging to Shia school of thought in Balochistan. Some 60 percent of the total Baloch population live in Pakistan. About 25 percent inhabit the contiguous region of southeastern Iran. Baloch population is estimated at about 8,800,000. "In Pakistan the Balochi people are divided into two groups, the Sulaimani and the Makrani, separated from each other by a compact block of Brahui tribes.

"Worst of all, violence against women and girls continues unabated in every continent, country and culture. It takes a devastating toll on women’s lives, on their families and on society as a whole. Most societies prohibit such violence -- yet the reality is that, too often, it is covered up or tacitly condoned." (UN SECRETARY-GENERAL in International Women’s Day 2007 Message.)
“Almost every country in the world still has laws that discriminate against women, and promises to remedy this have not been kept.” (UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on the eve of International Women's Day 2008)
According to one United Nations estimate, 113 to 200 million women are “demographically missing” from the world today. That is to say, there should be 113 to 200 million more women walking the earth, who aren’t. By that same estimate, 1.5 to 3 million women and girls lose their lives every year because of gender-based neglect or gender-based violence and Sexual Violence in Conflict.
In addition to torture, sexual violence and rape by occupation forces, a great number of women and girls are kept locked up in their homes by a very real fear of abduction and criminal abuse. In war and conflicts, girls and women have been denied their human right, including the right to health, education and employment. “Sexual violence in conflict zones is indeed a security concern. We affirm that sexual violence profoundly affects not only the health and safety of women, but the economic and social stability of their nations” –US Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice, 19 June 2008 (Read more about UN Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict www.stoprapenow.org/ ).
Millions of young women disappear in their native land every year. Many of them are found later being held against their will in other places and forced into prostitution. According to the UNICEF ( www.unicef.org/gender/index_factsandfigures.html ),Girls between 13 and 18 years of age constitute the largest group in the sex industry. It is estimated that around 500,000 girls below 18 are victims of trafficking each year. The victims of trafficking and female migrants are sometimes unfairly blamed for spreading HIV when the reality is that they are often the victims.
According to the UNAIDS around 17.3 million, women (almost half of the total number of HIV-positive) living with HIV ( www.unaids.org ). While HIV is often driven by poverty, it is also associated with inequality, gender-based abuses and economic transition. The relationship between abuses of women's rights and their vulnerability to AIDS is alarming. Violence and discrimination prevents women from freely accessing HIV/AIDS information, from negotiating condom use, and from resisting unprotected sex with an HIV-positive partner, yet most of the governments have failed to take any meaningful steps to prevent and punish such abuse.
United Nations agencies estimated that every year 3 million girls are at risk of undergoing the procedure – which involves the partial or total removal of external female genital organs – that some 140 million women, mostly in Asia, the Middle East and in Africa, have already endured.
We can point a finger at poverty. But poverty alone does not result in these girls and women’s deaths and suffering; the blame also falls on the social system and attitudes of the societies.
India alone accounts for more than 50 million of the women who are “missing” due to female foeticide - the sex-selective abortion of girls, dowry death, gender-based neglect and all forms of violence against women.
Since the late 1970s when the technology for sex determination first came into being, sex selective abortion has unleashed a saga of horror in India. Experts are calling it "sanitized barbarism”. The 2001 Census conducted by Government of India, showed a sharp decline in the child sex ratio in 80% districts of India. In some parts of the country, the sex ratio of girls to boys has dropped to less than 800:1,000.
It's alarming that even liberal states like those in the northeast have taken to disposing of girls. Worryingly, the trend is far stronger in urban rather than rural areas, and among literate rather than illiterate women, exploding the myth that growing affluence and spread of basic education alone will result in the erosion of gender bias. The United Nations has expressed serious concern about the situation.
Over the years, laws have been made stricter and the punishment too is more stringent now. But since many people manage to evade punishment, others too feel inclined to take the risk. Just look at the way sex-determination tests go on despite a stiff ban on them. Only if the message goes out loud and clear that nobody who dares to snuff out the life of a female foetus would escape effective legal system would the practice end. It is only by a combination of monitoring, education, socio-cultural campaigns, and effective legal implementation that the deep-seated attitudes and practices against women and girls can be eroded.
The decline in the sex ratio and the millions of Missing Women are indicators of the feudal patriarchal resurgence. Violence against women has gone public – whether it is dowry murders, the practice of female genital mutilation, honour killings, sex selective abortions or death sentences awarded to young lovers from different communities by caste councils, rapes and killings in communal and caste violence, it is only women’s and human rights groups who are protesting – the public and institutional response to these trends is very minimal.
Millions of women suffer from discrimination in the world of work. This not only violates a most basic human right, but has wider social and economic consequences. Most of the governments turn a blind eye to illegal practices and enact and enforce discriminatory laws. Corporations and private individuals engage in abusive and sexist practices without fear of legal system.
More women are working now than ever before, but they are also more likely than men to get low-productivity, low-paid and vulnerable jobs, with no social protection, basic rights nor voice at work according to a new report by the International Labour Organization (ILO) issued for International Women’s Day 2008. Are we even half way to meeting the eight Millennium Development Goals?

Indeed so – and it's part of a rather fine Christmas display in the Save the Children shop window in Teddington High Street – one of many beautifully decorated emporia in High Street and Broad Street. Come and see, come and shop!
A Child was shivering with cold after rain outside the shrine of Shah Shams. I don't find any words to sympathise him.

Bangkok. A lot of families, arriving from north and east of Thailand, use to live in shanty towns just near the railroads.
As the town grows up and new buildings and commercial centres are built, they have to move farther and farther from the centre.
Here those girls was showing me loy Kratong dance ;o)
they just learned at school.
humanitarian and documentary photography
---About this Video---
A lot of my documentary work includes my photos with music so this is great for me. :-)
The following clip is from a documentary I am working on about humanitarian work in the Philippines.
The children in this video live in small villages in the Philippines. One of the villages is actually at the local dumpsite where some of the children work. Two of the villages would be considered farming villages. Despite farming and working the people here are poor, living on less than a dollar ($1 US) a day.
I get to travel to the Philippines a few times a year to visit with the people in the villages.
Enjoy and as always comment or add me.
Time for new wish buT still every heart want
to go back to the Time...,
when getting high meant on a swing,
when drinking meant apple juice,
when dad was the only hero,
when love was mum's hug,
when dad shoulder was the highest place on earth,
when ur worst enemies were ur siblings,
when the only thing tht could hurt were wounded knees,
when the only things broken were toys and
when GOODBYE meant only till tomorrow..
WISH U A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR

Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh refer to the Rohingya refugees from Myanmar living in Bangladesh. On 22 Oct 2017, the UN reported that an estimated 603,000 refugees from Rakhine, Myanmar had crossed the border into Bangladesh since August 25, 2017. There are about 1 million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.
Rohingyas are a Muslim minority in Myanmar regarded by many Myanmar Buddhists as illegal migrants from Bangladesh. The Rohingyas have lived in Myanmar for generations and the Bangladesh government has called for Myanmar to take back the refugees. They are denied citizenship in Myanmar and have been described as the world’s most persecuted minority. Rohingyas are persecuted in Myanmar by security forces and Buddhist extremists. Myanmar has denied persecuting the Rohingyas.
Since the 1970s Rohingya refugees have been coming to Bangladesh from Myanmar. In the 1990s, more than 250,000 resided in refugees camps in Bangladesh. In the early 2000s, all but 20,000 of them were repatriated to Myanmar, some against their will. This respite ended in 2015 and by 2017, an estimated 300,000 to 500,000 Rohinya refugees were in Bangladesh. Most of the refugees are located along the Teknaf-Cox's Bazar highway that is parallel to the Naf River, which is the border between Bangladesh and Myanmar. Most of the refugees are located in or near Cox's Bazar, a coastal area dependent upon tourism.

this is for Tony's "Hats for Haiti" group. I have given to the Haiti Relief Effort through Save the Children. Children are so vulnerable in these kind of disasters when they have lost or been separated from their parents or caregivers. Sadly, there are people who see profit in kidnapping vulnerable, parentless and homeless children. Save the Children not only works to take care of children's medical and physical needs, but also protects them from these evil traffickers. Save the Children is "A" rated by charitywatch.org for it's efficiency in helping Haiti in this crisis. This means the majority of the money you give to this organization is going directly to Haiti to make a difference.
Update on 26th March, Rogvon has won the charity bid at USD$50!! Thank you so much for your generosity! :)

On Tuesday a 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck Mexico City.
We were just recovering from the one that struck the coast in Chiapas 2 weeks ago. (The strongest to hit in a century, registered 8.2 on the Richter scale).
At least 278 people are dead, including 32 children.
Thousands injured and hundreds still missing. Rescuers from all over the world are working around the clock to find victims under 44 collapsed buildings.
Many parts of Mexico City, Puebla, Morelos, Chiapas and Oaxaca are devastated. Mexico needs your help. No matter how small, everything helps. If you're looking for a way to contribute, please consider the following organizations:

Giving support and thank you Kira Balestra for share this! ♥
This is really important, this time to happen in Mexico, other times to been in other places, but at some point we can happen to anyone, given that this planet is slowly crumbling and is our responsibility, and for that very reason, I feel it is our duty to contribute our help in any way, however small, it is always help, the ugly thing would be to sit idly by and look the other way.
It costs nothing, and the effect is immense.
Thanks to all those who in one way or another, collaborate in this or in the causes that are, but the fact is to help.

"七転び八起き"-(Always rising after a fall) is a Japanese proverb literally translated to, "fall seven times and stand up eight," and meaning, "When life knocks you down, stand back up / Keep trying,"-from Wikipedia. Support Japan in their time of need as they are always supporting others.
One of my submissions for the 1000 Cranes for Japan group and just a visual representation of my support. I'll be physically helping by sending the cranes I make to Paper Cranes for Japan to raise $2 per crane (money generously donated by Bezos Family Foundation) to help reach the goal of 100,000 cranes and $200,000 donated. The money donated from the Bezos Family Foundation will go towards reconstruction efforts in Japan by Architecture for Humanity.
I have also sent this photo in an email to 1000cranes@miyacompany.com because for every crane picture sent, the Miya Company will donate $5 to Save the Children to aid in their relief and recovery effort in Japan.

Innocent children as young as this child on my portrait get caught in conflicts around the world and get killed or get injured or become disabled. These children have nothing to do with man made conflicts, they were just happened to be born in those regions. These children suffer the consequences of ugly political games that are played by all Super Powers and groups that spread terror. Most terror groups are often funded by Super Power Nations using them as tools to manipulate political situations in various regions in the world.
Save the Children, because the children give you hope that this world will be a better place someday.

"Ethnically driven violence intensified in Kenya on Sunday, and police officials said at least 19 people, including 11 children, were burned to death in a house by a mob".
This picture was taken in September 2007 in Kibera (Nairobi - Kenya). Kibera is one of the biggest slums in Africa. There were about 40 children crowded in a small room where the only source of light came from a tiny window. They were as curious about me as I was about them. Their eyes tell the story better than anything I could write...
This picture is dedicated to all those children who lost their lives in Naivasha and elsewhere in Kenya. Innocent victims of nonsense violence.

I think all of you guyz know what happened in Japan. It happened a while now (when I was in Costa Rica), but I didn't want to act like nothing happened because it does. I felt it wasn't too late, because the disaster and wasted lives are still there. In this moment, people are still searching for their family, friends...someone.
It's in moments like this I realize how much lucky I am to have everything I have. House, clothes, money...and I'm not talking about material stuff. I talk about my family, friends, and alos you guyz. Healthy and alive. Next time you're complaning about your little problems, just think about what happened in Japan, or Haiti. Right, we ar elcuky guyz and we have to appreciate what we have...and what we don't.

Turkmenistan
Traveling around the world might sound like a very exciting thing. People may think, that it's always about having fun and enjoying yourself. Unfortunately, there is much more behind all this and there are so many moments, that make you feel so bad, so sad and angry. And I'm not even talking about bad weather conditions, or some mechanical or paperwork issues, while you are on the road.
There is a huge amount of cotton fields in Turkmenistan. We were quite lucky to catch the season and all those fields were full of people picking the cotton up. We noticed, that people work in traditional costumes and stoped by to, take couple of pictures, as those are bright and colorful and always look great.
But as soon as we stopped, we noticed that there are lots of small kids working as well. I'm not sure, if they forced to do that job or maybe they just help their parents, but it is really-really sad to see little kids working on the fields under the melting hot sun.
They were happy to see us and bikes, they smiled, seemed to be happy, but it really hurts, though!
Here is the artwork I created to raise money for Japan after the tsunami on 11th March 2011.
I will contribute to the emergency through SAVE THE CHILDREN.

At the Save The Children March. Was taking pictures of a kid playing with the fire hydrant and noticed this sign behind him while going through my shots. Made me tear up. He has no idea what the sign means. He was just sort of bored and found something to play with. Kids should not be stolen from their parents to make a political point.

HISTORY OF THE CHERRY TREES
The plantings of cherry trees originated in 1912 as a gift of friendship to the People of the United States from the People of Japan. In Japan, the flowering cherry tree, or "Sakura," is an exalted flowering plant. The beauty of the cherry blossom is a potent symbol equated with the evanescence of human life and epitomizes the transformation of Japanese culture throughout the ages.
1885: Mrs. Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore, upon returning to Washington from her first visit to Japan, approached the U.S. Army Superintendent of the Office of Public Buildings and Grounds, with the proposal that cherry trees be planted one day along the reclaimed Potomac waterfront. Her request fell on deaf ears. Over the next twenty-four years, Mrs. Scidmore approached every new superintendent, but her idea met with no success.
1906: Dr. David Fairchild, plant explorer and U.S. Department of Agriculture official, imported seventy-five flowering cherry trees and twenty-five single-flowered weeping types from the Yokohama Nursery Company in Japan. He planted these on a hillside on his own property in Chevy Chase, Maryland, where he attempted to test their hardiness.
1907: The Fairchilds, pleased with the success of the trees, began to promote Japanese flowering cherry trees as the ideal type of tree to plant along avenues in the Washington area. Friends of the Fairchilds also became interested and on September 26, arrangements were completed with the Chevy Chase Land Company to order three hundred Oriental cherry trees for the Chevy Chase area.

1908: Dr. David Fairchild gave cherry saplings to children from each District of Columbia school to plant in their schoolyard for the observance of Arbor Day. In closing his Arbor Day lecture, Dr. Fairchild expressed an appeal that the "Speedway" (no longer existing, but marked by portions of Independence and Maine Avenues, SW and East and West Basin Drives, SW, around the Tidal Basin) be transformed into a "Field of Cherries." In attendance was Eliza Scidmore, to whom he referred later as a great authority on Japan.
1909: Mrs. Scidmore decided to try to raise the money required to purchase the cherry trees and then donate them to the city. As a matter of course, Mrs. Scidmore sent a note outlining her plan to the new first lady, Helen Herron Taft. Mrs. Taft had lived in Japan and was familiar with the beauty of the flowering cherry trees. Two days later the first lady responded:
The White House, Washington
April 7, 1909
Thank you very much for your suggestion about the cherry trees. I have taken the matter up and am promised the trees, but I thought perhaps it would be best to make an avenue of them, extending down to the turn in the road, as the other part is still too rough to do any planting. Of course, they could not reflect in the water, but the effect would be very lovely of the long avenue. Let me know what you think about this.
Sincerely yours,
Helen H. Taft
April 8: The day after Mrs. Taft's letter of April 7, Dr. Jokichi Takamine, the Japanese chemist who discovered adrenaline and takadiastase, was in Washington with Mr. Midzuno, Japanese consul in New York. When he was told that Washington was to have Japanese cherry trees planted along the Speedway, he asked whether Mrs. Taft would accept a donation of an additional two thousand trees to fill out the area. Mr. Midzuno thought it was a fine idea and suggested that the trees be given in the name of the City of Tokyo. Dr. Takamine and Mr. Midzuno met with the first lady, who accepted the offer of the 2,000 trees.

April 13: Five days after Mrs. Taft's request, the Superintendent of the Office of Public Buildings and Grounds, Colonel Spencer Cosby, U.S. Army, initiated the purchase of ninety Fugenzo Cherry Trees (Prunus serrulata "Fugenzo") from Hoopes Brothers and Thomas Co., West Chester, PA.
The trees were planted along the Potomac River from the site of the Lincoln Memorial southward toward East Potomac Park. After planting, it was discovered that the trees were not named correctly. The trees were determined to be the cultivar Shirofugen (Prunus serrulata "Shirofugen") and have since disappeared.
August 30: The Japanese Embassy informed the Department of State that the City of Tokyo intended to donate to the United States two thousand cherry trees to be planted along the Potomac River.

December 10: Two thousand cherry trees arrived in Seattle, Washington from Japan.
1910: On January 6, the two thousand trees arrived in Washington, D.C.
January 19: To everyone's dismay, an inspection team from the Department of Agriculture discovered that the trees were infested with insects and nematodes, and were diseased. To protect American growers, the department concluded that the trees must be destroyed.
January 28: President William Howard Taft granted his consent to burn the trees.
The probable diplomatic setback was alleviated by letters from the Secretary of State to the Japanese Ambassador expressing the deep regret of all concerned. Dr. Takamine and the Mayor of Tokyo, Yukio Ozaki, met the distressing news with determination and good will.
Dr. Takamine again donated the money for the trees, whose number had been increased to 3,020. The scions for these trees were taken in December 1910 from the famous collection along the bank of the Arakawa River in Adachi Ward, a suburb of Tokyo, and grafted onto specially selected understock produced in Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture.

January 29: a newspaper article in the Evening Star mentions that “about a dozen” of the “buggiest trees” were saved for further study, and “planted out in the experimental plot of the bureau, and there will be an expert entomologist with a dark lantern, and a butterfly net, cyanide bottle and other lethal weapons placed on guard over the trees, to see what sort of bugs develop”.
1912: February 14, 3,020 cherry trees from twelve varieties were shipped from Yokohama on board the S.S. Awa Maru, bound for Seattle. Upon arrival, they were transferred to insulated freight cars for the shipment to Washington. D.C.
March 26: 3,020 cherry trees arrived in Washington, D.C. The trees were comprised of the following varieties:
"Somei-Yoshino" ...................................1,800
"Ari ake"....................................................100
"Fugen-zo".................................................120
"Fuku-roku-ju"............................................ 50
"Gyo-i-ko".................................................. 20
(The Gyoiko were all planted on the White House Grounds)
"Ichiyo".....................................................160
"Jonioi".......................................................80
"Kwan-zan"...............................................350
"Mikurumagayeshi"....................................20
"Shira-yuki".............................................. 130

"Takinioi"..................................................140
Total........................................................3,020
March 27: Helen Herron Taft and the Viscountess Chinda, wife of the Japanese Ambassador, planted two Yoshino cherry trees on the northern bank of the Tidal Basin, about 125 feet south of what is now Independence Avenue, SW. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the first lady presented a bouquet of "American Beauty" roses to Viscountess Chinda. Washington's renowned National Cherry Blossom Festival grew from this simple ceremony, witnessed by just a few persons. These two original trees still stand several hundred yards west of the John Paul Jones Memorial, located at the terminus of 17th Street, SW. Situated near the bases of the trees is a large bronze plaque which commemorates the occasion.
1913 - 1920: Workmen continued planting Yoshino trees around the Tidal Basin. The cherry trees of the other eleven varieties and the remaining Yoshino trees were planted in East Potomac Park.
1927: April 16, the original planting of Japanese cherry trees was commemorated by a re-enactment of the event by Washington school children.

1934: The District of Columbia Commissioners sponsored a three-day celebration.
1935: The first "Cherry Blossom Festival" was sponsored jointly by many civic groups and became an annual event in subsequent years.
1938: So prominent were the cherry trees that a group of indignant women chained themselves together near them in a political statement against President Franklin D. Roosevelt. They sought to stop the workmen who were preparing to clear ground for the construction of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. A compromise was reached wherein more trees would be planted along the south side of the Tidal Basin to frame the memorial.
1940: Cherry Blossom Pageant was introduced
1941: December 11, four cherry trees were cut down in suspected retaliation for the Japanese attack against the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The exact reason for the vandalism never was substantiated. In hopes of preventing future damage during the Second World War, the trees were referred to as the "Oriental" flowering cherry trees.

1948: Cherry Blossom Princesses were selected from each State of the Union as well as from each federal territory. From these princesses, a queen was chosen to reign during the festival.
1952: The famed cherry tree grove along the Arakawa River near Tokyo, parent stock for Washington's first trees, had fallen into decline during World War II. Japan requested help to restore the grove in the Adachi Ward, and the National Park Service shipped budwood from descendants of those same trees back to Tokyo in an effort to restore the original site.
1954: March 30, Sadao Iguchi, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States, presented a 300-year-old Japanese Stone Lantern to the City of Washington to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first Treaty of Peace, Amity and Commerce between the United States and Japan signed by Commodore Mathew Perry at Yokohama on March 31, 1854. The lantern, made of granite, is eight feet high and weighs approximately two tons. The National Cherry Blossom Festival officially is opened by the lighting of the lantern.
1957: Mr. Yositaka Mikimoto, President of Mikimoto Pearls, Inc., donated the Mikimoto Pearl Crown that is used at the coronation of the National Cherry Blossom Festival Queen on the night of the Grand Ball. The crown contains more than two pounds of gold and has 1,585 pearls. This magnificent crown is ceremonial, and because of its weight the young lady, who is crowned Queen, will wear the famous piece for just a few moments. She is given a miniature crown of gold, with a pearl topping each point, to wear for the remainder of the evening and to keep thereafter as her own.
1958: April 18, the Japanese Pagoda, hewn out of rough stone, was placed on the southwest bank of the Tidal Basin and dedicated. It was presented as a gift to the City of Washington, D.C., by the Mayor of Yokohama to "symbolize the spirit of friendship between the United States of America manifested in the Treaty of Peace, Amity and Commerce signed at Yokohama on March 31, 1854..."
1965: The Japanese Government made another generous gift of 3,800 Yoshino trees to another first lady devoted to the beautification of Washington, Lady Bird Johnson, wife of President Lyndon Baines Johnson. American-grown this time, many of these are planted on the grounds of the Washington Monument. Lady Bird Johnson and Mrs. Ryuji Takeuchi, wife of Japan's Ambassador, reenacted the planting ceremony of 1912.

1982: Approximately eight hundred cuttings from the Tidal Basin Yoshino trees were collected by Japanese horticulturists to retain the genetic characteristics of the trees and replace trees destroyed in Japan when the course of a river was changed. Other exchanges and gifts have benefited both cities. Through this cycle of giving, the cherry trees have fulfilled their role as a symbol and an agent of friendship.
1986 to 1988: A total of 676 new cherry trees were planted at a cost of over $101,000 in private funds donated to the National Park Service to restore the number of trees to what they were at the time of the original gift.
1994: The National Cherry Blossom Festival was expanded from one week to two weeks.
1996: March 27, signing of the Sister River Agreement between the Potomac, which flows through Washington, D.C., and the Arakawa, which originates on scenic Mt. Kobushi in Saitama Prefecture.
1997: June 17, in cooperation with the United States National Arboretum, cuttings were taken from the documented, surviving 1912 Yoshino cherry trees shipment, to ensure preservation of the trees' genetic lineage. These trees will be used in subsequent replacement plantings to preserve the genetic heritage of the grove.

1999: November 15, Fifty trees, propagated from the 1,400+ year old "Usuzumi" cherry tree growing in the village of Itasho Neo in Gifu Prefecture of Japan, were planted in West Potomac Park. It is said that the 26th Emperor Keitai of Japan planted the tree 1,500 years ago to celebrate his ascension to the throne. The "Usuzumi" tree was declared a National Treasure of Japan in 1922.
2002 - 2006: Four hundred trees, propagated from the surviving trees from the 1912 donation, were planted to ensure that the genetic lineage of the original trees is continued.
