        Morning glory seeds as symbol of forgiveness

        Photo shows morning glory flowers in Osaka, western Japan, on July 9, 2015, grown from seeds originating in Fushun, northeastern China. The seeds were provided by Tomoko Nozaki who brought morning glory seeds from the northeastern Chinese city in Liaoning Province to Japan. The plants are regarded as a "flower of forgiveness" because former Japanese soldiers, detained at a war criminal management center in Fushun after the end of World War II, were treated humanely at the facility and received morning glory seeds when they returned to Japan.
