The Naruto’s Forest certificate

  Frederick Linsmeyer • August 3, 2010 • The Otaku Culture

I arrived home from work today and found an envelope marked all the way from Kazo, Saitama prefecture in Japan sitting on the table. After noticing the Present Tree logo at the bottom and the Konoha emblem on the back, I figured the contents had to be for the Naruto’s Forest campaign that ran this past June.

I opened the envelope and found five sheets of paper enclosed within; one of which was my certificate of the tree I’m sponsoring. Also included was a beautiful print of Naruto and Jiraiya resting under a tree, a card with an amazing forested landscape where the saplings are planted, another card detailing some of the various local plants and a brief paper covering how the tree will be cared for.

So, if you’re ever in Japan, stop by the forests in the Yamanashi prefecture and look for tree 11-04772. I hope to visit one of these days…

     Hi Maiira,
     You don’t need to fly to Japan to plant your tree. Present Tree, a partner during contest, will be planting and caring for the trees during the first ten years of your tree’s life. You can visit the tree by using the number on your certificate to locate it in the forest.
