Walking around the temple precincts, Nao-san found another spectacular ginkgo.
-
Ginkgo were often planted in the grounds of temples and shrines (and the gardens of larger homes) as they were considered a primitive sort of fire prevention.
By all accounts they saved a handful of temples that would otherwise have been consumed in flames.
-
Since being planted in 1636 'sakasa-ichō' has escaped two major fires.
Locals reported water coming from the tree during the conflagrations, and so it also became known as the 'water spraying ginkgo' (水吹き銀杏).

🌳THE UPSIDE DOWN GINKGO🔃
Nishi Hongan-ji's (西本願寺) famed 400 year old 'sakasa-ichō' (逆さ銀杏 'upside down ginkgo') is so-named because when the leaves have fallen it looks surprisingly like roots reaching up to the sky.
