False daphne (Daphniphyllum macropodum) is native to Japan, Southern Korea, China, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The tree produces clusters of tiny flowers from April to June and fruits from June to December, which turn black in October and November.
Daphniphyllum macropodum's Japanese name is "yuzuriha," which translates into "giving/offering leaf," after the fact that older leaves drop in spring after the shrub starts to grow new leaves, which looks like older leaves offering their places to younger ones. Survivors of 2011 Japan Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami were reported to have helped each other by giving and offering food and water to each other. Some may find it naïve and I'm not sure I can be so generous in similar circumstances but such a spirit of caring, sharing, and helping each other may be needed most now.

楪（ユズリハ）です。日本、朝鮮半島、中国、マレーシア、インドネシアが原産です。4月から6月にちっちゃい花の塊を付け、その後につける実は10月から11月にかけて黒くなります。
「ユズリハ」の由来は、春、枝先に若葉が出たあと、前年の葉がそれに譲るように落葉することに由来します。東日本大震災の時、被災者の方が譲り合っている姿が世界中に伝えられました。譲っているといつの間にか居場所がなくなってしまうような世の中ですが、今一番必要なのは「譲り合いの精神」かもしれません。
