Arrived at Autumn Tree Market
We came to the Autumn Tree Market.
The weather was lovely on that day.
Marketplace was crowded with people.
The market was lively like a festival.
Street vendors of Octopus balls and steamed buns appeared at the market.
I introduce some pictures which we took at the market.
Gardening Shops
Beautiful Flower Shop
It was autumn, but those flowers made us feel as if Spring came.
Flower bulbs and gardening tools were sold.
Various kinds of young plants were sold.
It is a fun to think which one to plant for your garden.
Personally I love the Dahlia flower (following picture).
Searching for your favorite plant is another way to enjoy the tree market.
Those many kinds of flowers were beautiful.
I found a flower of cotton.
It was surprizing for us to know that we can buy the unique flowers.
Ausome Bonsai Art
Those small young pine trees grow up to masterpieces of Bonsai art.
What a wondefull Bonsai. I wish if I could have it in the living room.
Impressive Bonsai
Those Bonsai arts were interesting, so we could forget the elapse of time.
Fluits Tree
Persimmon is the seasonal fluit of autumn.
Japanese Tree Arts
I found a shop which was selling cute arts of small trees.
Addition of those items will make the garden more interesting.
Miniature art
Small world of Wabi & Sabi.
I put my mobile phone so that you understand the small size of the art.
It will be relaxing to put those kinds of small art at room.
