Poet and scholar Dr. Akito Arima (1930-1920) briefly explains what a ginko is. Then, off we go on a ginko walk with docents Art and Ann Muto along the coast of Point Lobos in Monterey, California. We close with haiku by poets inspired by the journey on the trail and those who attended our virtual ginko at Haiku North America 2021.
Note: We only share a minute and a half from a longer interview with Dr. Arima. If you’d like to take a deeper dive, listen to our full interview: Ginko – Special Guest Dr. Akito Arima
