Soho Park (Park category–Catalpa)

Catalpa–a tree that symbolizes affection between Jo Niijima (teacher) and Soho Tokutomi (student).
Jo Niijima, the founder of Doshisha University, brought back the tree seeds from the U.S. in late 1870s or early 1880s and gave some to Soho Tokutomi, which is reportedly the beginning of the tree’s history.
It has been said that Niijima gave the seeds to encourage Tokutomi, who was struggling for youth education, thus giving the tree a historic meaning that shows their affectionate relationship.
The current tree is the third generation cut from the second generation located in the premise of Kumamoto City Tokutomi Memorial Museum in June 1988. The tree was given by the museum in March 1990.
