The Gingko Tree symbolizes longevity because it can live for thousands of years and it is also known for its profound endurance. I hope that most trees are like the gingkos so that future generation can see all of its beauty.
Last November was my first ever fall foliage experience at Yahiko Mountain in Niigata. I definitely felt ecstatic looking at the various trees with different colors. Looking at them, I realized that some endings can be beautiful, too.
After being to a few places around Japan, I believe that the countryside are more than what they are given credit for. For example is Niigata. After being here for almost a year now, there are still so much more to see and do, making me feel the excitement of every trip.
For this weekend’s outing, I visited the famous Tunnel of Light- “Drawing on the ‘five elements’ of nature (wood, earth, metal, fire, water), MAD’s scheme transforms points along the historic tunnel through the realization of several architectural spaces and artistic atmospheres.”
