Cycads wrapped up for winter in Kyoto

Visiting my favorite gardens in Kyoto, my eye was caught by the elaborate wrapping of cycad palms for winter. These plants were chosen because of their tropical look and exotic origins. I think they probably look better wrapped than unwrapped.

  1. breathtaking! incredible how large they are.

  2. J-son, you’re right. They must be old. I wonder how old.

    The gorgeous wrapping is so artistic and so Japanese. Reminds me of the book “How to Wrap 5 Eggs” about traditional Japanese package design (just re-issued recently).
