Ginkgo Wednesdays: Photography
This photo, currently for sale at eBay, caught my eye this week. From the description:
The Hachiman Shinto Shrine and great ginkgo trees. Hachiman Shrine was first built in Yuigahama by Minamoto Yoriyoshi in 1063, but later it was moved to the present site at Mt. Kita by the Shogun Yoritomo. It became the guardian of Kamakura. ... (This shrine is designated as a natural monument by Kanagawa prefecture.)
A little googling tells me that the tree is in fact still standing:
Minamoto no Sanetomo, the third Kamakura shogun, was assassinated on February 13, 1219 by an archer hiding behind the great ginkgo tree that still stands beside the great staircase at the shrine.
(emphasis mine) although in this image the view is from the top of the steps rather than the bottom and the ginkgo tree is therefore on the right side of the photo.

Another ginkgo Christmas ornament
Here’s a set of Christmas ornaments I found on eBay. Originally available from Still Life, this set of five ornaments includes one ginkgo leaf, one holly leaf, one grape leaf, and two pumpkins. They’re the real thing, the leaves electroplated in 24K gold and the pumpkins in copper.
Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
I’ve recently been inspired to start a new feature here at Ginkgo Dreams called “Here Today, Gone Tomorrow,” where I’ll feature auction items that capture my attention. Not every item I post is still available for purchase (that’s never a criterion), but items at eBay and other auction sites are especially transient and some of them are worthy of mention.
