2. Japanese Maple Culture in Japan

The Japanese maple has been an important plant in Japan for centuries. There is evidence that the Japanese became aware of them as early as the 7th century. In Japan, the tree is often called the "autumn welcoming tree." Maples are often planted on the western side of gardens since the Japanese traditionally believe that fall comes from the west.
