This afternoon I went to Botanic Garden in Brooklyn to have a meeting! They’re going to do something exciting and fun this Halloween and next year for Sakura season. They invite me as one of guest who gives a presentation/workshop/book signing! Yeahhh!!! I took great photos there. So let me add some Japanese garden photos!

Hiroshima ama no hashidate?! When Anita, public director took me to Japanese garden, I felt as if I went back to Japan for sudden! Look at this beautiful gateway!!!!! TORII!

This set up sort of reminds me of my grandparent’s garden in North of Tokyo. My grandfather used to keep his big Japanese garden like this.


And this little Temple was almost hidden..

I’m lucky!!!!!!! I almost shouted when I found these turtles. I bet they are having a nap or something together since the weather became nice^_^

And when I went to an entrance area, I saw a big pound which is covered with water lillys.
Actually I have never seen real water lillys until now!
I wish I could have checked out Botanic garden a long time ago. If you have a chance to visit NY, please come to Brooklyn and explore this amazing garden! Maybe we can hang out there!
