DISTRTB. Japan and the Loo-ehoo islands. 



The plant spreads over from the main-island of Japan through Kinshin 

 to the Loo-choo islands as south as Formosa. It grows the most luxuriantly 

 in this region of the island, forming a pure forest on the boundary between 

 the Conifer and broad leaved tree regions. The trunk is here so large as 

 to attain a diameter of even 15 ft.
