.. .. .. a bridge to you



This was our New Year Greeting Card in Heisei 12.

The bridge is in Ritsurin Kooen, a most famous park in Takamatsu, Shikoku.

In the Japanese garden the shapes of natural mountains, rivers and lakes and the wildernesses of forests are simulated and expressed in a heightened poetic way. It is this refined poetic character that impinges itself on the sensibility of the visitor to the garden. The Japanese garden is a tangible realization of the aesthetics of Shinto nature worship and the ideals of Buddhist philosophy, the twin spiritual foundations of Japanese culture.
