Pampas Grass & Lake

View of Lake Yamanaka (山中湖) from the trailhead that leads to the peak of Mt. Myojin (明神山）in Yamanashi Prefecture where you can enjoy lovely views of the lake and grand views of Mt. Fuji to the southwest (on a clear day).

Access to the trailhead is only a 45-minute drive from the Shin-Hadano Exit on the Tomei Expressway. The trailhead includes restrooms, picnic tables, and free parking.

there's a patch of dead Miscanthus sinensis (eulalia/chinese silver grass/susuki grass) from last year in my garden, and wikipedia tells me it was used to as building material in the past? I can't easily find a lot about it, but I wonder if I could use it to weave something like a straw hat. It isn't enough for much else anyway, but it seems like a fun thing to try-- you have to cut last year's growth every year and it seems like a shame just to throw away!

Well I could compost it of course. But it seems fun to try making something. Does anyone here have tips on how to use it for that? I suppose it wouldn't be very different to work with tha straw, but just in case.
