The "Laurel of Friendship"

Rotary founder and the honorable president of RI, Paul P. Harris and his wife Jean stopped by Japan on February 9, 1935 on their way to Manila where the 5th Pacific Regional Conference of RI would take place.Paul frequently made trips to foreign countries in those days, and he planted twenty eight “Laurels of Friendship” where he visited. The laurel at the Tokyo Imperial Hotel was one of them.In 1968, the laurel was transplanted when the hotel was renovated. Unfortunately the laurel was in bad shape after transplanted. Hundreds of branches were cut off and they were replanted all over Japan. Among these second generations, only eight of them survived while the rest were dead. The survived trees were moved to the Yoneyama Memorial Hall in Mishima city, Shizuoka prefecture. The trees are still alive in good shape.The very original laurel was dead after moving. Two wooden hammers were made from the trunk of the tree. One has been stored at the Tokyo RC. The other was given to RI International Headquarters.The RC of Hiroshima West received a laurel, one of the third generation, from the Yoneyama Memerial Hall and planted it at the Hiroshima ANA Hotel on November 20, 1997 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Paul's death. The laurel is the only one descendant of the Laurels of Friendship in the district 2710, and holding the precious tree here is something we are really proud of.

In fellowship, friendship and community service…


The club celebrated the 45th anniversary in 2015, and the 110th anniversary of our friend, the Rotary Club of Chicago. Both clubs were participated in commemorative events together. Our club planted a tree here in Hiroshima, and the Rotary Club of Chicago planted a tree in Chicago to cerebrate the great accomplishment each other. The photo is the magnolia tree we planted with the commemorative plate in Hiroshima.

広島西ロータリークラブの歌
この歌は、東京西RCの会員であった往年の歌手 藤山一郎さんの作詞作曲です。当クラブの諏訪昭登会員が東京西RCへ出席された際深く感銘を受けました。東京西RCおよび藤山一郎さんの親族より許可を得た後、当時SAAの小橋理事が友人の広島大学准教授に依頼し、ご夫妻による歌とピアノをCDにおさめて広島西RC全会員に配布されました。
