About this book
The Flowers and Gardens of Japan is by Florence Du Cane. The text says Mr. Conder tells us that the earliest style of gardening in the country was called the Imperial Audience Hall Style. The text names the iris, pæony, wistaria, lotus, morning glory and chrysanthemum as favourites, and says that even among these the iris, wistaria and possibly the lotus are the only ones which seem ever to be allowed to belong in any way to the real design of the garden.
The text says the dolls will be dressed in silk, and their accessories mostly made of lacquer, with an emperor and an empress and a set of Court musicians among what you will see. Some attribute the first use of boat vases to the philosopher Soami, who, to please his patron Yoshimasa, took a bronze vessel of accidental resemblance to a boat. The text says the more elaborate bronze vases in exact imitation of ships and junks came first, and the simpler ones are of later origin.
