KUNUGI is called sawtooth oaks in English and my favorite.
It's a represent of forest deciduous trees in MUSASHINO area.
MUSASHINO is a name of area near tokyo and sounds nostalgic for Japanese.
Leaf is slender and its edge is sawtooth.

In summer, beetles come for the sap.

In late fall, leaves turn yellow and to brown.
