💨THAT GINKGO FUNK👃

As many many many of you have noted, ginkgo may look beautiful but they reek at this time of year. The soft outer layer of the fruit found on female trees contain butyric acid, which is the same chemical that gives vomit and rancid butter their odor🤮😖

Very little is known about the history of Iwato-sha and Ochiba-sha, but Ochiba-sha may well have originated as Ochikawa-jinja (堕川神社), first mentioned in 927.
Ochikawa-jinja was thought to be connected to Tachibana-no-Kachiko (橘嘉智子), the consort of Emperor Saga.

Ginkgo seeds, called 'ginnan' (ぎんなん), are delicious.

I usually just heat them in a frying pan until the shells have browned, remove the shells, sprinkle on salt and eat.
They have a slightly bitter, but exceptionally moreish, flavour😋

In China ginkgo is known as '鴨脚樹', the 'Duckfoot Tree', after the shape of the tree's leaves.
This name was rendered into Japanese as 'Ichō' (イチョウ/銀杏), but Engelbert Kaempfer would -somewhat incorrectly- introduce it as ginkgo (銀杏) to western audiences.

If you were dropped into a teahouse at a random time of year, without access to the garden or any idea of the temperature outside, then the sweets served are your best bet for narrowing down the date...
'Ichō momiji' (銀杏紅葉 'autumn-leaved ginkgo') herald deep autumn.

🦕🦖GINKGO🌿🍂

“The ginkgo tree is from the era of dinosaurs, but while the dinosaur has been extinguished, the modern ginkgo has not changed.
After the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, the ginkgo was the first tree that came up. It’s amazing.”

-Nakanishi Kōji (中西香爾 1925-2019).

Walking around the temple precincts, Nao-san found another spectacular ginkgo.

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).
