"The Goshinboku, the Sacred "God" Tree, or Tree of Ages is a fictional tree in InuYasha.
In modern day Tokyo, Goshinboku is located near the Higurashi Shrine. In the Sengoku period, Goshinboku is located in the forest near the Bone Eater's Well.
In the first volume of the manga, Turning Back Time, InuYasha was sealed to Goshinboku by Kikyo's sacred arrow. InuYasha spends fifty years sealed to Goshinboku before he was released by Kagome Higurashi.
Similarly, in the anime, InuYasha was sealed to Goshinboku for fifty years by Kikyo's sacred arrow until he was released by Kagome Higurashi in the first episode, The Girl Who Overcame Time... and the Boy Who Was Just Overcome. InuYasha's body was preserved by contact with the tree due to its magical powers."
From Wikipedia.

I'm still not sure if these tree is fictional or not...there were no other enteries on Wikipedia aside from this one. Yet on google images, there were plenty...

Anyway, I love how this all works out. Coming back to life happens is something that happens a leetle too often in IY, but at the beginning it works so so well. Especially with Kikyou. You can still see Kaede thinks of Kikyou as an older sister, dispite how their ages have been reversed. In episode 49 (I think) I remember Kagome's mother saying how when she stood next to the tree she felt more pure.
Anyways, might add more later. Bye!
