Kiku Hanami
This was somewhere near Munakata, about an hour's drive from Fukuoka. By the way, contrary to popular opinion the National Flower of Japan is not the Sakura, its the Kiku, or Chrysanthemum, representative of the Imperial Throne since the Meiji era. And at the festival it was HUGE. I have added Chrystanthemums to the list of huge things in Japan... Apples, Grapes, eggs and Chrysanthemums
The Bonsai was quite astounding (see background). These are some of the nice folks from Church that I went with. Kids dont look too happy though
