Activities for Honoring the Achievements of Dr. Jokichi Takamine

Daiichi Sankyo donates to the Dr. Jokichi Takamine Memorial Foundation in Kanazawa, an organization established in 1945 with the aim of honoring the achievements of Dr. Jokichi Takamine, the first president of the Company’s predecessor Sankyo Co., Ltd., and supporting science education.

Support for the National Cherry Blossom Festival

The National Cherry Blossom Festival, held every spring, is the largest Japanese cultural festival in the U.S., commemorating Tokyo’s donation of cherry blossom trees to the U.S. in 1912 as a symbol of friendship. Dr. Jokichi Takamine, the first president of Sankyo, was one of the people who dedicated his efforts to the donation of the cherry blossom trees, and our Group has supported the National Cherry Blossom Festival for many years.
