Providing for Wet Snow
Gardeners have begun to work on "yuki-tsuri" (Pulling up against snow) at Kenroku-en Gardens in Kanagawa, Ishikawa Prefecture. They will pull up boughs of a hundred pine trees and azaleas until the middle of December. The work is done to prevent branches from breaking down by wet snow. Eleven workers put up a 6-meter-tall pillar along the trunk and attach ropes in a cone. (Yomiuri Shimbun)
