dogwood (Hanamizu tree) is a deciduous Takagi of the genus Japanese dogwood subgenus.

Among the street trees managed by Chuo-ku, dogwood is said to have 434 trees (as of June 12, 2017), and it is quite common in the Ginza area, including along Matsuya Street.

In dogwood, during the pleasant season from April to May, the season when white and pink flowers (actually the bracts that look like petals) bloom, the leaves begin to turn red and red fruits are also good.

During the season when there are few flowers, the bright red fruits on the Kimata body are shiny and stand out even if they are small.

In dogwood, this red fruit is beautiful, but the leaves are also beautiful.
