Into Shirozu Park

 Along the road I saw this manikin. It was an ad for the store that it was standing in front of. I could not tell exactly what the store sells, but it looked like maybe knickknacks or something of the sort.

 Walking up a short hill and into the Shirozu Park, I saw these strangely shaped trees. Shirozu is the local pronunciation of the standard shiromizu, or white water. This is both a place name and a family name. There is a man in my Go Club named Shirozu.

This little landscaped area was very nice. I have always liked gardens with small streams that are enclosed by large rocks.
