Mnemonic Stories

In Japan, there's a tradition of planting a paulownia tree at the same time as the birth of a daughter. It's a fast growing tree that, at the time of her wedding, could be used to make a wedding gift (a chest or dresser) symbolizing the care and love of her family and providing her with furniture for her new home.
