About Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo Biloba, also known as Maidenhair or just ginkgo, is one of the oldest trees in existence. It is the last surviving species of the ancient Ginkgo genus dating back 270 million years, before the Jurassic period.

Ginkgo is a large tree with a lifespan of centuries. It is highly resistant to insects, bacterial infections, fires, and air pollution.

Today, wild ginkgo trees only exist in a few places, including Miyazaki prefecture in southern Japan.

Symbolism in Japan

Poster of Japanese ginkgo festival

Ginkgo trees are revered in Japan for their resilience, beauty, and long life. Old ones are venerated like a deity. You see them in temples, shrines, tea houses, parks, schoolyards, and public gathering places.

Ginkgo species has male and female plants. The magnificent "Grand Ginkgo" in Takaoka, 30-minute drive from where we are, is an 800-years-old female.

This majestic lady is designated by the government of Japan as a Natural Monument. At her site, the townspeople host lively ginkgo festivals every November (picture is of 2017's festival poster.)

For the Japanese, the two-lobed leaves of ginkgo symbolize perseverance, longevity, and unification of yan and yang male-female duality.

Traditional Japanese Ginkgo motifs They extensively use the ginkgo leaf pattern in all sorts of designs including family crests, kimono patterns, and accessories.

This picture shows a few ginkgo-inspired Japanese motifs. The traditional hairstyle resembling ginkgo leaves is called Ginkgo chignon (Ichō-Gaeshi.)


Ginkgo was introduced to the West by E. Kaempfer, a German naturalist who visited Japan in the 17th century.

The word ginkgo originates from Kaempfer's misreading of its Japanese kanji characters 銀杏, meaning "silver apricot."

Later on, scientists in Europe added the word Biloba (two-lobed) for the modern scientific classification name Ginkgo Biloba.

Senjiru is a time-tested technique for yielding maximum goodness locked deep in the leaves.

Caution: Senjiru is a deeper infusion compared to the 3-minute method above. It will extract more of the ginkgo leaves' natural compounds. This may cause allergic and other reactions in some individuals.
