Postcards from Yakushima Life
I have created these two postcards, which are available for sale at the Sirios gift shop in Anbo, Yakushima.
Tsuga Sieboldii
栂(ツガ) This spruce tree is several hundred years old. However, it is completely hidden from view by the moss and other plants adorning it. |
Cryptomeria and Trochodendron trees
杉と山車 You may notice this tree on the trail to Jomon Sugi. The roots of the Cryptomeria (Japanese cedar) spread out over the granite, and a moss-frosted trochodendron holds on, even in death. |
Returning from Jomon
縄文から帰る This is a 32cmx42cm painting I did in 2017 of the first view to meet your eyes when you start to leave Jomon Sugi's observation deck. |
