The sawtooth oak (Quercus acutissima) is native to Northeast Asia and can be found all across Japan. While the tree is famous for its acorns, its unique cupules and flowers—which bloom from April to May—are also beautiful. The hanging flowers have always reminded me of a 'noren', the traditional fabric curtains hung at the entrance of Japanese izakaya restaurants 😆.
