| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Note: The Japanese garden Kairakuen is located in Mito, Japan. It is considered one of the three great gardens of Japan. It is known for its ume (plum) trees. Many people come to the park in spring to view the blossoms, particularly during the Ume Festival.--Wikipedia. Note: Bonsai (lit. plantings in tray, from bon, a tray or low-sided pot and sai, a planting or plantings) is a Japanese art form using miniature trees grown in containers. Similar practices exist in other cultures, including the Chinese tradition of penjing from which the art originated, and the miniature living landscapes of Vietnamese hòn non bộ. The Japanese tradition dates back over a thousand years, and has its own aesthetics and terminology.--Wikipedia Note: Original caption information provided as: Bonsai & potted plants for sale at the Plum festival at Koraku-en, Mito |
