Tree ID

[dboyd351]

I ran across this tree at my daughter's school on Virginia's Eastern Shore. It has bipinnate compound leaves with 11-13 leaflets on the ones I counted. The pictured leaf is missing 2 of the leaflets and looks a bit less deep green and shiny than some of the others on the tree. The seed pods look really distinctive but I can't place them. The bark is a medium grey with moderately deep vertical furrows and what look like some lichen spots.

Looks from the seed pods like this should be easy to ID, but I'm drawing a blank. The tree was planted in the open with full sun on the school grounds, so it is pretty ideal growing conditions.

Any help in the ID is appreciated.

Well crap! No wonder I didn't recognize it.
Thanks. I probably would never have gotten that one. Makes sense in a way because the school does host Japanese and Chinese exchange students.
I appreciate the answers. Certainly looks right to me.
