The Sweet Smell of Autumn in Japan
Recently, as I was walking, I started smelling something sweet and wonderful, but couldn't identify what it was. The smell traveled, so I didn't see the tree at first. Many houses have this tree in their back yards or walled gardens. I don't remember seeing or smelling this in Hokkaido.
It is the kinmokusei tree. I don't know the transation in English, but I think it is some type of olive tree. I hope it lasts a long time!

Hi Pamela it's a very pretty tree .
Pretty with a sweet scent. That's how I feel about Lilacs in May.

Isn't this lovely. It's the little notes of nature that keep us going isn't it.
