Thank you for visiting my blog (^_^)
(If you are waiting for my posts of Maiko,please wait until May.
I'm going to participate Maiko photography event in May.)
Today I visited Koriyama Castle in Nara,
to see "Bonbai Ten" (Japanese apricot trees bonsai exhibition).
This Castle was built about 1000 years ago,
and was always used as a base of battle by feudal lords.
Apricot trees in the castle garden.
Inside the castle,so many apricot trees bonsai were displayed.
Each of them has its own name,
for example,this tree is "Shira-yuki" (White Snow).
It is romantic,isn't it?
This tree is "Sou-shun" (Early Spring)
I can't show you all in this post,
so I will show other pics in my next post.
Please have a wonderful day!
I enjoyed the photos and I'm waiting for the next ones. May be you have more photos of the castle too:)

ReplyDeleteThank you,Traveling Hawk!
They are not so much castle pics than apricot tree pics,
but I'm sure you'll like them :)
What wonderful pictures ! Thank you for posting them. It's interesting to see so many different shapes of bonsai and their individual names too !
ReplyDeleteI find the two white blossomed apricot trees near the entrance most impressive. Such beautiful trunks.

ReplyDeleteGreetings from Poland!
Lovely photos and another bonsai and blossom event to keep in mind. On our last winter visit we were lucky enough to see the Bonbai exhibition in Nagahama which was excellent. Can you confirm Bonbai is name specifically for the bonsai of an ume or sakura tree?
