Japanese Garden, Wrocław: Difference between revisions

==History==

The garden has existed since in 1913. It was the project of orientalist Baron Fritz von Hochberg who had an interest in Japanese culture, though the design can be accredited to Japanese gardener Arai Mankichi <ref>https://pik.wroclaw.pl/ogrod-japonski-we-wroclawiu/</ref>. In 1995 a major renovation project was undertaken under the direction of professor Ikuya Nishikawa from Tokyo. Next, in 1996-1997, with help from the Japanese Embassy and gardeners from Wrocław and [[Nagoya]] work was undertaken to renew the Japanese character of the garden. The work was directed by Yoshiki Takamura. Two months after the grand opening, the garden was ravaged by the [[1997 Central European flood]]. Another renovation was deemed necessary and and the next opening was in 1999.
