This is the great ginkgo at Choraku-ji Temple in the Agi District of Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture. The great ginkgo at Choraku-ji is about 1,100 years old. From roughly 3 meters above ground the trunk splits into four sections, and the thickest part measures about 4 meters around. The tree exceeds 30 meters in height, its entire trunk measures about 9 meters in circumference, and it was designated a Natural Monument of Gifu Prefecture in 1967. The trunk is divided partway into a large, old section and the sections that grew from it. About 250 years ago, when a bridge over the Agi River was washed away, legend says a portion of the trunk was cut off and used for the bridge beams, and the cut surface was reportedly charred with embers to prevent rot. Also, some 450 years ago when Takeda Katsuyori’s forces attacked Iwamura Castle and the Oda army, which had come out to meet them, were routed, Choraku-ji is said to have been burned; scorch marks from that fire still remain. Over its long history, this tree has been carefully tended and protected by the local community. It is so large that its branches spread beyond the temple grounds, making it visible from a distance with a strong presence. The trunk is thick and, when seen up close, the ginkgo is impressively majestic.

Speaking of summer drinks, "cider" This is a shop in Yoro Falls (Gifu Prefecture). Because it was the middle of summer, it was hot and sweat was streaming. That's when I discovered "Yoro Cider". Although I struggled to open the bottle, I was able to drink cold cider and enjoy the coolness. The key to this photo is the color. I shot it with a camera called Papershoot, and imagined and directed the nostalgic feeling of the time when this bottle-type juice was the norm. As a result, I was able to create a photo that looked like it was taken on film, and I was able to give it an emo look.

There were many people of all ages, from babies to the elderly, and they were taking pictures while enjoying the sunflowers. I photographed the sunset and sunflowers with my favorite digital camera, Papershoot. The beauty of this camera is that it expresses light in a good Ume plum. The point of this photo is that in order to express the Scene and the dynamics of the sunflowers being gently illuminated by the setting sunflower, the camera was taken slightly below the height of the sunflower flowers and taken from a fanning angle.

I think the children will be overwhelmed by the huge aircraft. If you are not that interested in airplanes, you can look for highlights at the Stamp Rally and enjoy the Hayabusa2 mission experience like a game.
