This December, my girlfriend and I took a brief holiday and went to southern Germany. We wanted to visit _weihnachtsmärkte_, the famous Christmas markets, and go snow hiking.
While walking some trails around [Oberreute](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberreute), more than once, we noticed two intertwined trees, already quite tall and grown up. It is a shame we did not take a picture, but it was interesting to see these two thin trunks, born one next to the other, rising in a spiral-like shape.

In the same days, we were also reading [Shigeru Mizuki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shigeru_Mizuki)'s _Yōkai Encyclopedia_, a list of common Japanese monsters and spirits. Reading about the [Yama no Kami](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yama-no-Kami), the _mountain spirits_, the book says that those twisted trees are left by them during the _Kikazoe_ (the counting of the plants), in the last days of the year. During this period, it was forbidden to take a stroll on the mountains around Iwate prefecture, otherwise one would risk being transformed into a tree.
