Sapporo no Ki Lilac Literary Monument

Wood を う

Original Text

It is said that it is a phrase composed by poet Isamu Yoshii during a week's trip. It seems that lilac was selected by referendum on the Sapporo tree, but it seems that it is also a flower of the Hokkaido Bank, and the installer here is also accompanied, and the main store is just behind. It's a tree that I'm not familiar with, but it probably suited the feelings of the citizens.

Lilac is a tree in Sapporo, isn't it? This time it was completely out of season and I couldn't see lilac flowers ... It is a monument that combines Isamu Yoshii's song, explanation, and a rounded stone monument. What does a round hole mean?

The location is easy to understand because it is located in Odori Park, which is also a tourist attraction. I don't often stop by the monument, but I first learned that the trees in Sapporo are lilacs. It's not just a stone pagoda, it looks like a design object and matches the location.
