On March 10th, The sacred Ginkgo Tree at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu shrine, Kamakura,was knocked down by sleet storm, it raged Tuesday to Wednesday across eastern and northern Japan.
Anyone who have ever visited Kamakura once before, saw this great sacred Ginkgo Tree, including me.
The historical Great Ginkfo Tree which height of 30 meters and measured 6.8 meters in circumference , stood there and watched over people visit the shrine over 800 year to 1000 years. (Estimate)
The local goverment ans shrine are trying to regenerate the tree.
Wish we could see it again!!
