- Man'yo Park and Takamatsu Garden's Japanese Iris Festival
Ichinomiya-City Man'yo Park and Takamatsu Garden's Japanese Iris Festival
Date : 06/08/2024
Irises straight out of the Man'yoshu
Man'yo Park is full of the bush clovers often mentioned in the Man'yoshu, or Man'yo Compilation—an ancient compilation of classical waka poems—which led to the naming of the park. Six stone monuments and 45 signs with poems inscribed on them dot the park, allowing you to ponder the beauty of the discrete haiku style of poetry as you walk through the park.
The Japanese Iris Festival is held in June when Japanese irises in the park's Takamatsu Garden come into bloom together with traditional Japanese tea ceremonies and other festivities.
