Feast Your Eyes and Ears
on Japan
Architecture and landscaping meld exquisitely in this
showcase. Rocks, which in Japan symbolize the long life of
the earth, combine with water, symbolizing the sea, which
the Japanese consider a source of life. These, with a
variety of trees and other plantings, blend with the
Japanese architecture to produce an authentic Asian
experience.
A pagoda which stands prominently in the showcase was
modeled after an eighth century structure in Japan. The
torii gate near World Showcase Lagoon is similar to the one
in Hiroshima Bay. The structure which houses the Mitsukoshi
Department Store on the first floor and a formal Japanese
restaurant on the second was inspired by a portion of the
Gosho Imperial Palace in Kyoto.
The
Taiko Drummers in Japan are an excellent introduction to
Japanese culture, and entice crowds to gather each time they
step up to perform. |
