Karasaki-no-Matsu, the "pine tree of Karasaki," famous for its portrayal in the ukiyoe print Karasaki-no-Yau (Night Rain of Karasaki), one of the "Eight Scenes of Oumi." The tree in the photograph is the second-generation pine with an east-west width of 72 meters, a north-south width of 86 meters and a height of 10 meters. A number of splints and stone walls support the branches stretching out to the lake. This second-generation pine died in 1921, but the third-generation pine is thriving today at the same site. |
