Missouri Botanical Garden panorama of the Japanese Garden
Explore the Japanese Garden through Post-Dispatch photographer Huy Mach’s 3D panoramic photo.
In 1977, the Japanese Garden is dedicated. This garden is named Seiwa-en, which means ‘the garden of pure, clear harmony and peace.’ Designed by Professor Koichi Kawana to ensure authenticity, this 14-acre garden is the largest of its type in the Western hemisphere. A four-acre lake is complemented with waterfalls, streams, and water-filled basins. Dry gravel gardens are raked into beautiful, rippling patterns. Four islands rise from the lake to form symbolic images. Several Japanese bridges link shorelines; families delight in the feeding of the giant koi (Japanese carp).
