AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Although everyone in the village laughed at Kenju it did not spoil his happiness. One day Kenju decided to plant lots of trees in an empty field behind his family's house. Many people of the village teased Kenju about his trees but the children of the village loved to play in the forest. As time passes it serves as a fitting memorial to Kenju.(Source: from the Book)
