Fukui Prefect2 - This
double card is of the Karasaki Pine Tree, one of the eight sights
of Lake Biwa. The tree, alive when this picture was taken, is
now dead. It had the largest spread of branches of any tree in
Japan. East to west, the branches extended over 157 ft, and north
to south some 151 ft. A new tree is being raised from the seeds
of the old. |
