Do you know the tree called "Toka maple"?

dogwood and Salsberg.
Toka maple means "Tang Kaede" and means "maple from China".
It is said that deciduous tree is distributed in Taiwan, mainly in the Yangtze River basin of China.
It came to Japan during the Edo period and is now widely planted as street trees and park trees.
Among street trees (Takagi), it is said that it is the fifth largest in Japan in terms of the number of planted trees.

are shaped like a duck foot with water.
