Oriental elm

On-Yomi: リョウ

Koohii stories:

1) [Megaqwerty] 20-6-2007(28): The Oriental elm is, of course, a tree fairly representative of the Orient and thus it is common in the capital in order to show ambassadors what the Orient is all about.

2) [Meconium] 21-1-2010(6): In the Japanese remake "A Nightmare on Oriental Elm Street", an anthropomorphic tree wreaks havoc on Kyoto. They should never have sold the film rights.

3) [oregum] 23-1-2009(2): All the TREES in the CAPITAL are Oriental elms.

4) [cameron_en] 19-11-2008(1): The Oriental elm is the tree symbolising Kyoto.

5) [abaddon] 18-5-2008(1): Tree, capital: In the capital, they were taking shoots for the Oriental version of 'Nightmare on Elm street'. To get it localized, they chose a tree lined street, aptly named Oriental Elm streed.
