このケヤキの太い根が、巨人の指のように下の巨岩にしがみつく。山肌を流れる水が巨石の周囲の土をゆっくりと洗い流し、この木は火山岩の上に不安定そうに立っている。ケヤキは丈夫で、少ない栄養で大きく育つことから、神秘的なエネルギーを持つ木と信じられてきた。特にこのケヤキのような立派なものは、神霊が宿るものと考えられていた。

Hogan Keyaki Tree
The thick roots of this zelkova (keyaki) tree cling to the massive boulder underneath like a giant’s fingers. Water flowing down the mountainside has slowly washed away the soil around the boulder, leaving the tree perched precariously on the volcanic rock. Zelkova trees are traditionally believed to possess a mystical energy because they are hardy and can grow on relatively little nutrition. Particularly impressive specimens such as this one were often thought to be the dwellings of divine spirits.
