Kenrokuen Garden, Karasakinomatsu Pine
This garden was magnificent. Centuries old trees all grand and manicured. The control and discipline of the Japanese way spreads wide over everything, including the growth of nature, which is both controlled and dolled up. The irrigatiion system in this garden is several centuries old! The like pines and rocks in their garden. Pine trees are evergreens, signifying longevity. Rocks and stones signify loyalty.
Kanazawa Castle
Fully restored according to ancient Japanese joinery practices. Not a single nail was used in the process.
