Banzai and Porcelain Park

Last weekend Russell and I went on a tour with the base to a nursery to make mini little rock banzai type creations. They didn't let us have real banzai trees because I guess those are hundreds of dollars, even for small ones!  However they gave us cute little trees and plants in the rock planters. These rock planters are made from the trash from the nursery burnt down and formed from the ash. I love how conservative the Japanese people are.

Here is Russell's tree

Gloves to make sure my hands didn't get all dirty...

Banzai!

After making our trees at the nursery we went to a porcelain park where one of the Dutch kings or someone important from that country. This is also were they make very nice porcelain china plates, bowl, tea cups and a bunch of other items. Hence the name, The Porcelain Park.
