The history of traditional garden plants

The history of traditional garden plants

In close connection with the shogun of the time and town planning and development in Edo, from the start of the Edo period (1603) onward, a wide variety of garden plants experienced booms in popularity, including camellias in the Kan'ei era (1661), azaleas in the Genroku era (1688), chrysanthemums in the Shotoku era (1711), maples in the Kyoho era (1716), and Satsuma mandarin in the Kan'ei era (1789). This also resulted in increasingly diverse ways in which the plants were appreciated and enjoyed.
