這松(ハイマツ) Siberian dwarf pine

　強風にさらされる枝が、名前の通り地を這うように伸びています。遠くに見るその姿に厳しさを感じますが、近くに寄って新葉(わかば)を見ると、また別の穏やかな表情を見せてくれます。

　Branches exposed to strong winds stretch to crawl on the ground. When you see it from a distance, you can feel its severe appearance, however, when you get closer and look at the young leaves, you can see another peaceful expression.
