What’s in a Japanese garden?

Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan

In a traditional Japanese garden,
there’s all this pond.

The shape of that pond is like the
shape of the classic Japanese heart.

Around that pond there are many
seasonal plants and flowers planted
around the width.

By walking around the width we will
notice the change in seasons (by which
plants are in and out of bloom).

In Japan (koi) carps are very courageous,
strong fish.

We usually post a stream of carps
(Koinobori “carp streamers”) on May 5th.

This festival (Tango no Sekku) is for
wishing good luck for our children.

In Japan we enjoy eating Ginkgo
tree nuts.

In autumn there are so many Ginkgo nuts
scattered around here.

Ginkgo nuts are very nutritious. I myself
enjoy eating Ginkgo nuts.

Particularly, Ginkgo nuts are believed to
help with memory…at least I hope so! 🙂

Thanks for watching.
