A photo near Shimogamo temple in Kyoto, Japan. The Gingko
trees are planted regulardy at the Temples. The forest around
this temple is regenerating more or less freely. Leaves of
Gingko can be seen in upper left corner and there is one small
Gingko tree on the left background, with many long visible
horizontal branches. There are two specimens of Cinnamomum
caphora: the tree next to the right from the small Gingko, and
the second tree from the right (with twisted trunk). What are
the trees with smooth bark, I cannot say that, because I haven't
written it down. Undergrowth is Sasa dwarf bamboo.- Kouta
