In August 1945, an atomic bomb exploded over Nagasaki City, cracking the trunk, blowing away branches and leaves, and burning the tree with heat rays, nearly killing it for a time. Miraculously, however, the tree sprouted new shoots and gradually regained its vigor, encouraging A-bomb survivors who were on their way to recovery from the devastation. The tree has become a symbol of peace and rebirth and is now designated as a natural monument of Nagasaki City.
Sanno Shrine also distributes the "Daikusu-mamori," a gift named after the life force of the giant kusu.
