@A.Thomas: Glad you liked it. It actually WAS enormous, so I'm glad that came through. Enormous is how I feel about this tree.

@Duncan Galbraith: Yes, the bark was incredible. I think these trees were actually very, very old, to have gotten so huge. They were within the temple grounds at Ise Jingu, and people just had to walk around them on the paths.

@badala: Thank you!
