| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Note: Tokiwa Jinja is a Shinto shrine adjacent to Kairakuen.--Wikipedia. Note: The Japanese garden Kairakuen is located in Mito, Japan. It is considered one of the three great gardens of Japan. It is known for its ume (plum) trees. Many people come to the park in spring to view the blossoms, particularly during the Ume Festival. The park was constructed by Tokugawa Nariaki in 1842. Unlike Japan's other two great landscape gardens Kenrokuen and Kōrakuen, Kairakuen served not only for the enjoyment of the ruling lord, but was open to the public. Tokugawa Nariaki became daimyo of Mito in 1829 and was an important figure in the nationalist movement in Japan.--Wikipedia. Note: "Tekiwa Park" was in original caption. |
