A​ ​little​ ​history​ ​about​ ​the​ ​Ginkgo​ ​leaf:

The​ ​ginkgo,​ ​native​ ​to​ ​China,​ ​figures​ ​prominently​ ​in​ ​Asian​ ​art​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​the​ ​Art​ ​Nouveau​ ​movement​ ​of​ ​the​ ​late​ ​nineteenth​ ​century.​ ​In​ ​Japanese​ ​decorative​ ​art,​ ​the​ ​ginkgo’s​ ​distinctive​ ​fan-shaped​ ​leaf​ ​has​ ​carried​ ​symbolism​ ​along​ ​with​ ​its​ ​singular​ ​beauty:​ ​the​ ​ginkgo​ ​has​ ​been​ ​a​ ​symbol​ ​of​ ​longevity​ ​(the​ ​tree​ ​can​ ​live​ ​for​ ​a​ ​thousand​ ​years).
