Yoko the Cherry Blossom
In 1940, Masaaki Takaoka acts like a teacher in the agricultural division at a youth training institute. Although Japan’s defeat seems imminent, all of Masaaki’s students are drafted a futile last-ditch effort. In an attempt to give the young men some hope, he makes everyone promise that they will most meet again under the cherry blossoms upon their safe return. Consumed by sadness over the fate his students, Masaaki devotes the next 30 years of his life to develop a new species of cherry blossoms that could thrive at any climate in remembrance of his own students.
