Southern sky for protection against evil spirits
Nanten is a plant that was introduced from China during the Heian period and has been valued as a herbal medicine to suppress coughs since ancient times.
It bears many glossy red fruits from late autumn to early winter, and because of its pronunciation ``difficulty'', it is popular as a lucky tree that symbolizes ``turning hardship into good fortune.''
It is also said to be a talisman that keeps bad spirits away by placing it at the entrance.
An encyclopedia from the Edo period states that ``planting a southern sky will prevent fires,'' and in many private homes they are planted in unlucky directions to ward off fires, and are said to protect the safety of the home.
People have made wishes based on the shape of the ginkgo, such as its strong vitality for long life, its spreading leaves for good luck, and its golden leaves for good luck with money.
