3511 Hoops of bamboo and paper used at the sacred yew tree.

Hoops of bamboo wrapped with material are placed at the base of this tree when a child is born so that they will have a good life. The importance of this tree is significant. Unfortunately Taxus has become scarce due to its medicinal properties regarding cancer.

Taxus wellichiana
