A tree is standing in senso-ji(temple in Asakusa)
Here is a legend,Minamotono-Yoritomo pierced a twig of maidenhair tree into the ground.
He was the man who had established Kamakura-shogunate(1192) and he was the first Shogun of the era.
The twig became this,they have been said.As a presumption,the tree is 700 years old. So, regend is regend.
But,please click the photo to see bigger size and look the trunk like scooped out.
It is partly changed to charcoal.It is a mark of follsishness of mankaind.
The tree was burnt on March.10 in 1945 by word war 2nd.
It is not legend.

I never hate other coutries. But war,I hate the way itself. I hope that we never foget the damege and all tragedy in every wars.
Over 2000 years passed,we came to know that too big power and too big fire is not necessary.Even if piece using,some accident is happen.

The tree never say a word,but holding legend and memories,it still alives.In spring, a new leaf is born out.
Never say,but show us everythin
