Like manyJapanese craftsmanship, yukitsuri is a combination of function and beauty.
With snow falling softly around it creates a particularly beautiful winter scene.
Yukitsuri is a common sight in Kanazawa and Kenrokuen Garden during the winter months.
The process of attaching yukitsuri ropes begins in early November and takes about one month to complete.
The ropes are kept up until early March, when the snow melts.
