GINKGO

SYMBOL OF HOPE + TENACITY + PROFOUND ENDURANCE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE GINKGO TREES WERE THE ONLY TREES THAT SURVIVED 

THE ATOM BOMB THAT DEVASTATED HIROSHIMA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE FAN, WINGED SHAPE OF THE GINKGO LEAF IS EXQUISITELY DELICATE.

THE LEAF ECHOES A BILLOWING DANCE SKIRT IN A FOREVER WHIRL.
