The old story about the ginkgo tree in my city Part-2 When he came home, his daughter Yaegiku saw his pail face and said, “You look so pail. What’s wrong with you.?” Usually, he never told about his work at home, but he was at a loss and told about the pillars to his wife and daughter. His wife did nothing but cry. However, his daughter Yaegiku thought about the problem for a while and spoke up without no difficulty, “Father, why don’t you make square frame and put in on top of the pillar to make up for?” To hear this, the master said, “Yaegiku, you’ve got a good idea!” and shake her hands heartily with joy. Next morning, the master went to the workshop earlier than usual and tell his apprentices to make square frame and put it on top of the pillar. The apprentices, who were deeply worried, were relieved and started their work in high spirits. After that, everything went well and seven-story pagoda was completed perfectly. Then, the regional administrator came to see it and was impressed with the beautifully build pagoda and its square frame. He said, “This is spectacular! Takumi is the best master in the area!” He praised the master and gave him rewards. Day by day, the reputation of the pagoda spread throughout the area. Takumi had been getting worried that his daughter happened to tell someone that the square frame was her idea, and finally, he killed his beloved daughter and buried her by the side of the pagoda. He planted a young ginkgo tree on it. Still now, you can see it rises up high by the side of the pagoda.
