Morikami Museum and Japanese gardens

It's that time of month again we we investigate a new Museum. This time we visited the Japanese Gardens with my dad.

Grove.













The 3 Amigo's...













There were several rock gardens. The first one pictured with Jesse is the Early Rock Garden from the 14th century. It's created in a dry area where your imagination creates the water.
The second one is the Karesansui Late Rock Garden from the 16th to 17th century this was used in the Buddhist temples.












The third garden is called the Hiraniwa Flat Garden from the 17th to 18th century. This is a flat garden that makes use of plants material and has a stone pagoda.













There was also several water gardens along the way. The first is called the Modern Romantic Garden in the late 19th to 20th century.

The Koi like to gather at the Memorial Fall.
Over on this little island are several Bonsai Trees on exhibit. No make that about 40 bonsai trees. Jesse went a little overboard with the pictures so I will only pick one.



















There was also a beautiful bridge. At the end of the walking tour which was about 1 to 2 miles of walking was the Morikami Falls.




















After the walking tour there was an art exhibit that we were not able to take pictures of but I did sneak one of the Authentic Tea House.
