The theme of this exhibition is “overlapping,” and the hanging arrangements were designed to resemble the “junihitoe” (twelve-layered robe). Wisteria, which has long been popular in Japan, petunias, and Western junihitoe (ajuga) overlap each other, making us feel as if we were wearing flowers.
wWisteria arbor (arbour)
This is a field of lupine flowers, also known as “Ascending Wisteria” because of the appearance of the flowers, which look as if they are rising toward the sky. This year, the area has been expanded and as many as 12,000 lupines will be in full bloom. Visitors can appreciate both the drooping wisteria and the sky-blooming lupines at the same time.
