Ginkgo 「銀杏」

Resting forever,
Away from sorrow and grief,
I hope you’re happy
Wherever it is you’re at
Rest in peace now, little soul

Notes: In hanakotoba (花言葉), the Japanese language of flowers, the ginkgo (銀杏) represents “magnificence” (荘厳), “longevity” (長寿), and “repose of a soul” (鎮魂). ^{[Japanese source]}

Notes 2: Fun fact, Ginkgo can be spelled as “ginkgo” or “gingko”, and I never knew both were equally correct.
