Standing on Yakushima, a World Heritage Site where ancient nature still lives and breathes, the Buddha Cedar (Buddha Sugi) is said to be around 1,800 years old.<\/p>\n

It is believed that the tree was given its name because the countless burls forming on its trunk resemble the figure of the Buddha.<\/p>\n

This time, water was sampled from a spring near the Buddha Cedar, and its water crystals were photographed. The process revealed a large ring-shaped crystal adorned with numerous branches and leaves. Its appearance seems to reflect the Buddha Cedar itself, possessing a quiet beauty that evokes the mystical essence of Yakushima\u2019s nature.
