Last Saturday we wandered around a grand old garden in Takamatsu. Ritsuren Kouen is one of the most famous gardens in Japan. It is luxuriously supplied with plum, camelia, and cherry trees, and looks quite amazing when everything is in full bloom. In the dead of winter, it is stark and filled with cold pale light, but still tranquil and lovely.

| I wish these signs were around for life... |
 |
| In Japanese, it says 'please do not enter". |
 |
| Doing my part to conserve nature. |
 |
| Grr. This came out crooked. It was very hard to see the screen and my camera has no view finder. Curse you technological advancements in photography! |
 |
| That little house behind the trees is where we had tea. See next post. |
 |
| Reminds me of Portola Valley |
 |
| Every garden in Japan is a little like Central Park in NYC. An oasis of natural (if manicured) calm in the midst of the bustling city. |
