In 1910, the Japanese government staged the #JapanBritishExhibition in #London. Two #JapaneseGardens were part of the fair. A statement from the Jap. organizers is interesting: "The gardens are not purely Japanese. They manifest the good feeling existing between the horticulturalists of England and Japan; equally they symbolize the alliance between our two countries…"
However, visitors, without a doubt, assumed that these gardens were fully authentic and not just a tool of #CulturalDiplomacy.
