Story 11大事にされて成長しすぎた木
愛知県
愛知県名古屋市にある日本三大神宮のひとつ、熱田神宮。その中で取得したクスノキは、外周に生えていたもの。その敷地内にある木々は大切に整備・剪定をされてきており、その成長を見守られてきましたが、成長しすぎて道路にはみ出してきていたため、剪定へと至りました。通常、神宮内で剪定された木は境内で自然に還していますが、今回のプロジェクトに賛同いただき、その一部を使わせてもらうことになりました。
Tree that has been Cherished and Overgrown
Atsuta Shrine, one of Japan’s three major shrines, is located in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. The camphor tree (kusunoki) we acquired was growing in the outer grounds of the shrine. The trees within the shrine’s grounds have been carefully maintained and selected, with their growth closely watched. However, as the camphor tree grew too large and began to extend into the road, it was pruned. Typically, trees pruned within the shrine grounds are returned to nature, but with support for this project, we were able to use a portion of the wood.
