美しい芝桜 - Beautiful SHIBAZAKURA

 I made an exertion to see blooming moss phlox at Sheep Mountain Park in Chichibu during the Golden Week.

We were amazed by mass colorful carpets of tiny moss phlox in pink, purple & white.

Also we enjoyed hiking around Mr. Buko and then went to a museum where you can see Shiko Munakata’s art.   

I was impressed by his stylish art works like graphic design as I had thought his works were rather traditional and heavy wood-block prints only.  

During the hiking, we met a huge maple tree about 600 years old at Saizen temple.  I just cannot forget its beauty.

GW中に芝桜を見に秩父の羊山公園へお出かけ。

カラフルな芝桜の絨毯にびっくり。

芝桜の前に武甲山の周りをハイキングして、

「やまとあーとみゅーじあむ」にて棟方志功の作品鑑賞。

西善寺の樹齢600年の楓に感動し、

グラフィックデザインぽいお洒落な棟方志功作品に出会えて良かった。
