One of 56 timber trunks comprising 54 types species collected in Wajima City. The tree species is Manchurian walnut（Juglans mandshurica var. sachalinensis）, which is native to Japan. It is a deciduous tree that grows in riverbeds and their surrounding forests. The bark is dark gray and has large vertical cracks. This specimen is still a young tree, so the cracks appear to be shallow. The bark, green leaves and unripe blue peel are used as dyes. The fruit has been used for food and medicine since ancient times, and has even been excavated from Jomon Period sites. This specimen was donated by the Ishikawa Giant Tree Association.
