Here it is↓

It’s bamboo. And it’s gorgeous

So here’s a quiz♪

Q. How tall is the New Year decoration displayed at Gardens?

a. 1.75 meters
b. 3.5 meters
c. 15 meters
d. 24.2 meters

Nishi2 correct answer rate: 50%

Which one is it?

 

 

 

 

 


1.75m is the height of Yumacchi from Nishi2. So that’s wroooong.

 

 

 

 

 

That same Yumacchi from Nishi2 also once cycled 24.2km along National Route 2 toward Kobe for a commemorative photo when Nishi2 celebrated its 2nd anniversary. So that’s wroooong too.

And Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens will celebrate its 15th anniversary next year, in 2023! So 15 meters is wroooong too.

 

 

 

So!

 

 

 

 

The correct answer is b. 3.5 metersーーーーーーー.

It seems this was installed as a New Year decoration, and the dynamic look of the bamboo is apparently inspired by the rabbit, the zodiac animal for 2023.

There’s a rabbit in there too, by the way. Were you able to spot it?? Or should we make that another quiz?

*Toki no Tabibito, thank you for providing the photos and information!!
