Jardín Japonés

This guide to the Jardín Japonés in Buenos Aires follows the local Japanese community's race in 1967 to build a garden from scratch before Crown Prince Akihito and Princess Michiko's landmark visit to Argentina. You'll hear how volunteers finished it in about fifty days, and what the lake, the red bridges, and the zigzag path toward the herb island were designed to mean. Listen for the story behind the garden's later transformation under a landscape architect.
