Garden plant market in Hamakita ~No,2~

| 2 Comments

1.jpg  I went to Garden plant market at North part of Hamamatsu which place is

Hamakita last Sunday.

 I'll introduce you to market from last week on.

 

This picture is Japanese garden in the ground of of market.

Usually, temples prohibit the people from go into Japanese garden.

However, here is no rule at all.

Children was excited in here, climb a garden stone, run down a slop and so on,

It was like playland!! horsedash

By the way, the day when we went to, it was the festival day

 of Garden plant festival Coincidentally.

They held the festival once a year.

They held various kind of program too.

One of the program was "Bonsai Exhibition".bud

They exhibited "Bonsai" which are grown up by neighbors who are middle aged men.

( Around in this age for men, "Bonsai" is very popular as a hobby!)

I "ll introduce some of them which are very fascineted to me in person.

( Besides, with my personal explanation.)

clubThis is the most popular Bonsai made by pine tree.

It's makes good scenery that was like exposed to the weather.

It's made in very small, but I think owner took long time to make.

On the one hand branches are old and tasteful,

on the other hand, young leaves grown up very well,,,

This unbalanced atmosphere seems symbolizes eternal time it has never change.

 

5.jpg club I don't know what is this tree.

30cm high, small Bonsai.

However, trunk is thick, so it must be get old.

Can you imagine there is a huge tree like same one with this small Bonsai somewhere

in the deep forest.

Don't you feel kind of mystique from this tree. It seems close to exsitance of God.

Reproduce of this feeling into small tree, this is the big meaning of "Bonsai".

Human being make life by himself instead of nature.

We charenged to nature to do this.

But when people reproducing the mystique, perhaps people feel how the nature

is huge and how we are weak compare to nature.

And then, finally they learn respect nature.

I think this is the spiritual world of "Bonsai".

It is important to do Bonsai that face to face with tree with quiet, calm and alone.

clubThis tree is a deciduous tree not an evergreen tree like pine tree.

(A deciduous tree lose it leaves in winter.)

The time a deciduous tree lose all of leaves is one of the highlight of Bonsai.

The feeling of owner come to me when I saw simple line's tree without decoration.

Tree says to me, see my simple, sensitive branches!!

In really, they are made up very beautiful from bottom to top of branch.

clubThis is moss plant not tree, on 50cm wide stone.

This is like real mountain isn't it??

It looks old at first sight, but I can feel strong life from center of stone.

Quiet, but a tense atmosphere could be felt everywhere in the stone.

I think this kind of tense atmosphere must be special feeling with Japanese people.

 

Well, well well,

let's start talk next topic from now on.

I could hear sound of drum somewhere.

Let's go to see it!eyedashdash

They paraded  through the market because of festival.

The people marched with wearing old style Kimono. ↑

I asked old lady beside on me, "What are they doing?"

She said people who related to Gardener in Hamakita pay a visit to a shinto shrine

to say thank you.

They dedicate this camellia tree to the god of a shrine.↓
