A deciduous tree of the elm family (illustration) that grows as a large, imposing tree in the northern part of Japan. It is said that Ainu ancestral deity Ainurakuru was born from Princess Harunire and the god of thunder. It is also simply called elm. It can reach a height of 30m and a diameter of 1m, with gray-brown bark on the trunk and deep vertical cracks. It spreads out widely and forms a large crown. The cork layer on the branches sometimes develops into bumps and fins. The leaves are alternate, obovate or obovate-elliptical, abruptly pointed, irregular at the base, 3-12cm long, with 7-13 pairs of parallel lateral veins and duplicate serrations on the edges.
