Enkirienoki - Enkirienoki
A Japanese hackberry tree is found in Honmachi, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo, near Iwanosaka on the old Nakasendo road. It was said that if you make someone take the bark or leaves of this tree without them knowing, you will be able to break off ties with them. It is also sometimes used as a pun on breaking off ties. *Sakehon, Sendo Fukabanashi (1802), 4: " Yoshino - san , this is a Japanese hackberry tree that will break your ties, so please think of it that way."
