TOKYO, Oct. 20 -- Ministry of the Environment issued the following news:
Outline of the "Shinjuku Gyoen Chrysanthemum Exhibition"
The chrysanthemum beds within the Japanese Garden show different varieties of flowers in the unique method of display under the hut called Uwaya. Seven Uwaya flower beds and two alley flower beds are set up to harmonize with the garden landscape. We suggest you follow the path to fully enjoy the beauty of each flower bed.
(Please refer to the Attachment "Pamphlet of Chrysanthemum Exhibition" for details.)
In 1878, the Imperial Household Ministry held the first chrysanthemum exhibition for the Imperial Family at Akasaka Palace. The chrysanthemum exhibition then developed into an event to which foreign envoys were also invited. In 1929, the event was relocated to Shinjuku Gyoen from Akasaka Palace. Ever since its opening to the public as a National Garden in 1949, Shinjuku Gyoen has inherited this tradition.
