Quilt : Geisha in winter

Geri Patterson-Kutras from California writes on her quilt website:
"While studying Art History I fell in love with the grace and form of Asian art. This quilt was inspired by an ancient Japanese wood block print. The graceful Geisha braces against the approaching cold winter wind while the ginkgo leaves swirl around her."

Korean fall ceremony honors old Ginkgo tree

Kim Min Cha performs the traditional "Salpuri" dance, part of a fall concert to honor the changing of the leaves of a 500-year-old Ginkgo tree at Gyeongju Cultural Center (Gyeongju in South Korea). The concert is a mixture of a cultural performance and a religious ritual to honor the spirit of the tree. The trunk had been wrapped in ribbons and an altar was placed before it with incense and food. Offerings were placed at the foot of the tree.
This Ginkgo is monument no. 66 and is registered as Geongsangbuk-do.

The "Ginnan" trees attract many followers and admirers as the symbol of power to bless people's relationships and children because they produce a lot of seeds.
