From spring to summer
This year in Mohri Garden, spring starts with the cherry trees coming into bloom, and then the park abounds with the colors of spring flowers. When the blossoms fall, the trees come into leaf, painting the park in tints of green. Preparations are under way to welcome summer, accompanied by the cool sound of flowing water.
About existing trees and transplanted trees
This important cultural asset must coexist with a state-of-the-art redevelopment project. The developers also wished to retain the memories and special character of the land, so the work went forward before redevelopment to transplant, replant, and preserve the existing trees.
(E) =Existing trees: Trees that were on the land before redevelopment
(T) =Transplanted trees: Trees that were temporarily transplanted to another location at the time of development and then replanted in their original location
The flowers of April
The garden is covered in a carpet of vivid azaleas. Japanese camellias bloom slightly out of season, and dogwoods that were present on the site before the development project send forth lovely flowers, and the feast of spring becomes that much more abundant.
