| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. 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: Hanami (flower viewing, 花見) is the Japanese custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers. All over Japan, from February to May, people gather to have outdoor parties and enjoy the cherry (sakura) and plum (ume) blossoms.--Wikipedia. |
