I canโ€™t wait to go back to Japan. Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the /momiji (red leaves) and the ginkgo but I always get laughed at a little when I say that. Apparently someone mistranscribed the correct Japanese spelling and we all say it wrong. It should be gingko (gin-kyo).

Oh,is "gingko" english word? I think the correct Japanese term is pronounced "ichล" for the tree, and "ginnan" for the seeds.

Whatโ€™s so sad is that someoneโ€™s mistranslation became the scientific name for the tree! Ginkgo biloba The genus name is regarded as a misspelling of the Japanese pronunciation โ€œgin kyลโ€ for the kanji ้Š€ๆ. People always giggle when I say it.
