Hirosaki Chrysanthemum Festival- Nov. 7, 2009- this is the continuation of my post last week. Every year Hirosaki Castle Park holds Chrysanthemum Festival during fall season, from mid October to early week of November.

They have this festival to celebrate the nature and beauty of the fall. There are thousands of maple and cherry trees have its color of leaves turned into red and yellow in this period of season.

    Interesting pagoda made from flowers! I always associate Chrysanthemum with the emperor's throne in Japan.

    I don't think I can recognize a chrysanthemum flower if I see one.

    Kilala- thanks for dropping by, do you know me? hehehe yes right now I'm enjoying Northern Japan but I can't wait to find out what would be our next base LOL

    Nomadic- actually I didn't know about chrysanthemum until I found out that Hirosaki has a chrysanthemum festival, I have to ask google. And dound out that "Chrysanthemum Throne" is the name given to the position of Japanese emperor. I'm not expert when it comes to flowers hehehe. Yes, the pagoda is nice

    BertN- me too Bert, there are different kinds of chrysanthemum, like 30 species
