Japanese ash (tree)
Refers to the tree species Fraxinus japonica, a type of ash native to Japan.
I planted a Japanese ash tree in the garden.
Hiragana spelling, also used.
Kanji form; rarely used in modern Japanese.
Alternate kanji form; very rare.
The origin of the name とねりこ is uncertain. It may be related to 舎人 (とねり, 'servant') due to the tree's use, but this is not confirmed.
