Kagawa Bonsai Flourishing Around the World KAGAWA BONSA I Kagawa Bonsai Flourishing Around the World About Kagawa Prefecture Shikoku is Japan's fourth largest island, southwest of Japan's main island Honshu, and is divided into four prefectures: Kagawa, Tokushima, Ehime and Kochi. Situated in the northeast part of Shikoku, Kagawa is the Japan’s smallest prefecture and is connected to Honshu by the Seto Ohashi Bridge which crosses the Seto Inland Sea at the north. Kagawa is blessed with rich nature and a gentle climate which is warm through the seasons with little rain and long sunshine durations. Attracted by such abundant climate and geographic advantage, the Japanese government and private sectors set up many of their branches and offices in the capital of the prefecture, Takamatsu City and make the city as a hub of Shikoku.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

It includes 185 bonsai in twenty styles and more than 40 kinds of plants, including evergreen, deciduous, tropical, flowering and fruiting trees.

Each one takes the stage when it is most beautiful. To see photographs of bonsai from the collection, visit www.chicagobotanic.org/bonsai. Assembling the Collection Predominantly composed of donated specimens, the collection includes gifts from BONSAI local enthusiasts and Midwest Bonsai Society members.

The ideal Edo period garden, combining form and function. Shinji Isoya During the Edo period, daimyo lords, who were required to split their time between their own domains and the capital city of Edo (Tokyo), competed to construct large gardens at their residences. There were once a thousand such gardens, and though they disappeared in quick succession following the Meiji Restoration, even now a handful remain to evoke the atmosphere of the Edo period. Professor Shinji Isoya, a leading expert in landscape architecture, explains the origins and significance of daimyo teien, and the best ways to enjoy these priceless gardens.

For illustration purposes, this map also shows geographical intermediate lines in waters in which borders with neighboring countries have yet to be demarcated. Despite ranking only 61st in the world in terms of land area (380,000 km2), Japan’s territorial waters and exclusive economic zone combined are 12 times larger (4,470,000 km2) than its land area. In December 1986, the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Japan on Maritime Search and Rescue (U.S.-Japan SAR Agreement) was concluded, under which Japan is responsible for coordinating search and rescue activities in the vast expanse of ocean that extends northward from 17° North and westward from 165° East.
