Growing from the crown of the Tesshu-sakurai Falls, 200 feet above the Sea, the Great Tree has stood since Day One. Out of the mist came a young Samurai errant named Koji, wet and filled with youth and vigor. Hesitantly, Koji pointed to the falls and asked of the Great Tree:
"Wise one, when a river races - its end is the sea - a deeper understanding of it-it-itself? Or...or is its end a tumultuous, fathomless mystery like death?"
The Great Tree just swayed silently in the wind as it had since it watched the birth of the stars.
Koji asked his question 1000 times patiently with no answer. Finally, he kowtowed and dove 200 feet into the waves below, hollering:
"I Get it! The wise seek but fools know. Right, master?"
The Great Tree whispered:
"What? I was sleeping?"
