Culture & Education/Customs/Yukitsuri -Rope Supports for Protection from Snow
Since winter comes early to Kanazawa, the yukitsuri is put up
in November. It starts with the famous Karasaki Pine in
Kenrokuen Garden.
The trees that are suppported are pines, azaleas, and fruit
trees. First a pole is propped up near the trunk of a tree and
rope is hung from it and attached to the ground, forming a
teepee-like shape. This process is especially important for
evergreen trees because they are so delicate.
There are three types of yukitsuri.
Ringo-tsuri: five ropes attached to one pole are
placed close to the trunk of a tree, and
a special decorative rope is attached to
the top of the pole.
Miki-tsuri: used to support young trees such
as pine and cherry. The rope is attached
directly to the top of a tree and hangs
directly into the lower branches of the
tree giving it proper support.
Shibori: used on shrubs such as bush clovers
and azaleas. Rope is used to gather all
the branches into a bottle-like shape.
This method is used to protect the plants
from snow piling up on the ground around
them.
The most popular method is Ringo-tsuri, and all the famous and
older trees in Kenrokuen Garden are supported in this manner.
Kenrokuen (Ishikawa) Yukitsuri
Kenrokuen located in Kanazawa is considered one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, and is one of the most popular gardens to visit year-round. During the winter, the snow transforms the garden into an even more wondrous place.

Motacillidae (Bird)
The wagtails, longclaws, and pipits are a family, Motacillidae, of small passerine birds with medium to long tails. Around 70 species occur in five genera. The longclaws are entirely restricted to the Afrotropics, and the wagtails are predominantly found in Europe, Africa, and Asia, with two species migrating and breeding in Alaska. The pipits have the most cosmopolitan distribution, being found mostly in the Old World, but occurring also in the Americas and oceanic islands such as New Zealand and the Falklands. Two African species, the yellow-breasted pipit and Sharpe's longclaw, are sometimes placed in a separate seventh genus, Hemimacronyx, which is closely related to the longclaws.[1]
