Japan has a long history of gardening, but the unique gardening culture blossomed during the political stability of the Edo Period (1603-1868). While many large strolling gardens with ponds, islands and artificial hills were built by nobles, tsubo-niwa (mini gardens) became popular among the urban population. Tsubo-niwa consisted of a few carefully arranged items such as stones, water basins, and plants. They have taken root in the townhouse gardens today.
Japanese people have loved having Camellia and Balloon Flowers in their tsubo-niwa. The beautiful colors and elegant shapes of these flowers were sure to be enjoyed by anyone who passed through!
