A huge ginkgo by the river in Uji.
Here you can see a close up of the leaves mid transformation, the green slowly being pushed back by yellow.
A statue of an Arhat collects ginkgo leaves in his lap.
Glorious ginkgo outside my house, its golden leaves illuminated in the morning sun.
In the past women considered the tree symbol of fertility and breast-feeding as aerial-roots that developed in older ginkgo were known as 'chichi' (乳 - breasts).
These unique structures grow down to the ground to form roots or up to sprout leaves.

Old ginkgo tree where it is possible to see aerial roots hanging down like stalactites.
