Where There are Gingko...

Where there are gingko...



Old ladies gather, picking up the ripe fruit. This is a common sight in fall. The smell of the gingko fruit is quite unbearable, so perhaps it is good that people are collecting them. After comes the long process of peeling and boiling the fruit. More power to them for taking on such a hard task!

Gingko nuts still in their hard shells, sold at Yasukuni Shrine.
