The Winter Peony Garden at Toshogu Shrine Ueno Park was a highlight last winter so I visited again on Sunday. Peonies are truly beautiful and regal flowers - no wonder the Imperial Court of Japan and the Shoguns valued them as Royal flowers and symbols of good fortune.
The peonies are covered with straw snow fences -yuki gakoi - in a traditional Japanese garden. In one section there was a zen gravel garden as well - Japanese at there best!!
