Plants and animals are replete with symbolic meanings and references to stories and poems in Japanese culture. This hidden dimension adds meaning to walks through gardens and visits to art galleries. Explore with us a selection of this symbolic content as expressed on the grounds of the Hammond Museum and Japanese Stroll Garden and in Japanese artworks.
