◇What is "Izumo Black Pine"?

The black pine is the prefectural tree of Shimane Prefecture.
Izumo is famous for being the location of Izumo Taisha Shrine, but it is also known for the myths of the White Rabbit of Inuyama and the transfer of the country, which appear in the Japanese mythology "Kojiki" and "Nihon Shoki." It is a mysterious and important place that is inseparable from ancient Japanese history.
It is said that wood cannot be used until it is at least 100 years old. The reason for this is that only the heartwood can be used, and the white part of the sapwood is soft and moist, so it is prone to mold growth.
This is an extremely valuable tree that is becoming difficult to obtain due to a rapid decline in logs caused by pine bark beetles and salt damage.

◇What is the "Zodiac"?

The twelve zodiac signs consist of Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
There are various theories, but one popular story is that "familiar animals were assigned to make them easy to remember," and "God had the animals race to see who could gather before him on January 1st, and the types and order of the zodiac animals were determined based on the race."
The details of the race seem to vary slightly depending on the story.
The twelve zodiac signs began to be used in pre-Christian China to represent calendars and other things.
It is said that when animals are assigned to the twelve zodiac signs, each character contains various meanings that wish for happiness.
