Kobe INK Monogatari #19 – Minato-gawa Lime
A Refreshing Tribute to Kobe’s Iconic Shrine and Camphor Trees

Minato-gawa Shrine, affectionately known as Nanko-san by the locals of Kobe, is a place of deep cultural and historical significance. Dedicated to Kusunoki Masashige—a revered 14th-century samurai and loyalist—the shrine is a serene landmark nestled in the heart of the city.

Surrounded by towering camphor trees (kusunoki)—the official tree of Hyogo Prefecture—the shrine’s distinctive white walls and columns create a tranquil, almost ethereal atmosphere. It’s a cherished retreat where Kobe citizens come to reflect and relax amidst nature.

Minato-gawa Lime draws inspiration from this peaceful oasis, capturing the soothing green of camphor leaves in a bright, refreshing lime green hue. This vibrant yet calming color brings a touch of natural serenity to your writing—perfect for those seeking inspiration from tradition, nature, and the quiet beauty of Kobe.
