It isn't very well known – even among Tokyoites – but the official tree of Tokyo is the ginkgo. Its leaf is actually the symbol of the city because it supposedly looks like the letter T. There are many ginkgo trees in Tokyo, especially noticeable in the autumn when their leaves turn yellow, making for some of the most characteristic images of Japan's metropolis. With the toumei Mini Bonsai Tree Ginkgo, you get a miniature version of this picturesque scenery on your desk in the form of another very characteristic Japanese element: bonsai!
The good thing about the toumei Mini Bonsai Tree Ginkgo is that you won't need to wait years until it reaches its perfect form: the "tree" is already finished, since it's made of several acrylic pieces that fit together. You won't even need tools to assemble the ginkgo! It measures 106 x 106 x 115 mm (4.2 x 4.2 x 4.5") when assembled and comes with a wooden base that you can fill with the gravel to complete your image of a ginkgo in a rock garden!
