Plants are covered in straw — a custom known as shimoyoke (霜除け) or frost protection — to protect them against winter cold. The rope framework around the tree is called yukitsuri (雪吊; yuki = snow, tsuru = to hang or suspend), and it also protects the tree against heavy snow. Here in Tokyo both are mostly used as decoration, since it doesn’t snow heavily in the city itself. I took these photos at a temple called Tennō-ji in Yanaka.

I love the beautiful straw decorations and straw knots that you find in so many Japanese gardens and Japanese crafts. These ones are part of traditional New Year’s decorations that you find at every shrine and temple: either just a pine branch, or a pine branch combined with bamboo, and tied with a straw rope. I took these photos at Sensō-ji in Asakusa.
