2007 Symposium Statement

admin — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 19:00:32 +0000

In the past four symposia we have focused on deepening mutual understanding between Japan and other nations through the vision of Japanese gardens. At the same time we have had elaborate discussions concerning the essence and character of Japanese gardens.

We have not focused on the critical issues of maintenance, management and conservation of Japanese gardens outside of Japan. Therefore, in this 5th Symposium we will address the various issues and challenges facing people who work hands-on, day to day, in Japanese gardens throughout the world. At the same time, we would like to discuss how the Japanese Garden community within Japan can serve as a resource to address the challenges faced by existing gardens as well as for future projects abroad. We respectfully invite your participation in this vital symposium.
