Autumn leaves of metasequoia

[Sam] 14:00 on December 14, 2018

DSC08077ELS'.jpgDSC08024RS'G.jpg Metasequoia planted on Shin-ohashi-dori St. in front of the Asahi Shimbun Tokyo Head Office (Tsukiji 5) is colored, the trunk is upright, and the canopy is conical and neat tree-shaped.

Metasequoia is a deciduous coniferous Takagi in naturalized species, a cedar family. The current species is one genus and one species.

The Japanese name Akebono cedar is said to be translated from the English name "dawn redwood", and turns orange-reddish brown in autumn.

The branch is paired with a twig, and the twig is densely paired with a flat linear twig, shaped like a bird feather, and looks like a feather-like compound leaf at first glance.

It is a male and female strain, and at this time, it has a small pinebokuri-like fruit with a long pattern.

You can enjoy fresh green, autumn leaves, and winter withering throughout the four seasons.

I went to the vicinity of Tsukiji on weekdays when I took a break. Even on weekdays, there are many tourists in the out-of-the-field market, and it seems that there is no effect on the market relocation. On my way home, I stopped at Tsukiji Honganji. There was also a monument that was not listed in "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia". Honestly, I didn't realize it until now.

 

"Shinran Shonin Statue" and "Track Traffic Martyrs Memorial Monument" are photographed.

"Shinran Shonin" is a statue built as the founder of the Jodo Shinshu sect, a sect of Tsukiji Honganji. The "Trade Traffic Martyrs Memorial Monument" was built in 1969 by the Land Traffic Martyrs Memorial Construction Party, with Mikasamiya as Honorary Governor, mourning the victims of the traffic accident and wishing to exterminate the traffic accident. .

If you look around slowly, you may find surprising discoveries.
