Introduction
Hello, plants lovers! I would like to introduce you to Japanese
plants as well as Japanese life with plants. Recently I have
become friends with gardening enthusiasts all over the world
through the Internet. After that, I became interested in
introducing Japanese plants to everyone who enjoys gardening. I
think that each country, including Japan, has its own history of
gardening. Needless to say, throughout history there have always
been gardening enthusiasts all over the world. I hope that you will
feel familiar with Japanese enthusiasts of the past and the
present by visiting my website. I would also like to introduce
Japanese life with plants. I notice that our every day life is
connected with plants in many ways and so I have examined the
relationship between plants and people in Japan. It is therefore a
great joy for me to open this website because it will allow me to
make friends with more people who love plants!
