Trendspotting: Ginkgo Goodness

I simply adore ginkgo trees this time of year, with those trademark blazing yellow leaves dripping from their branches and scattering along sidewalks and pathways.

The ginkgo leaf is, of course, a familiar motif in Japanese and Japanese-inspired pottery and textiles. It was also popular during the Arts and Crafts movement in the early 20th century. But lately I've been seeing ginkgo leaves employed in more modern, graphic ways as well.
