A-Bombed willow tree - via A Japan Photo per Day -
A-bombed willow tree, Hiroshima Castle, Hiroshima
The over 50 trees that survived to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, are known as the hibaku jumoku and are located in an area between a hundred meters and over 2 kilometers from the atomic explosion’s epicenter.
Not far from the giant Eucalyptus which is 740 meters away from the epicenter, near the Main Gate of the Hiroshima Castle, after another 30 meters there’s a willow (”salix chaenomeloides“, maruba-yanagi in Japanese) whose trunk was broken by the explosion. But after a while, a few buds appeared and since great care was taken to ensure its survival, a new crown grew and, as you can see from the photo, the tree looks green and healthy.

Inuyama Castle's protector tree - via A Japan Photo per Day -
Sacred tree, Inuyama Castle, Inuyama
In Japan, in every Shinto shrine you will see a tree, usually a very old one, which is considered sacred. The explanation is that these trees are providing a place for the gods and spirits (kami), so that they can be present during the Shinto ceremonies.
But these aren’t the only sacred trees from Japan. The tree from today’s photo, located right next to the walls of the Inuyama Castle, is considered sacred because it actually protected the castle: it is said that over many years, this tree protected the castle against the fire by acting during storms like a natural lightning conductor… The tree is now dead (the green leafs are just a climbing plant), but since the castle survived untouched for almost 500 years (it is now one of the 4 original surviving Japanese castles designated as national treasures), the tree was declared sacred and was preserved as a shrine…
