Graham is online to tell us about Japan’s renown Chrysanthemum Exhibition currently on show in Nagoya castle.

Nagoya castle is the pride of Nagoya, Japan, built in the world famous Edo-period . The inside of the castle has been opened up as exhibition rooms that tell the history of Nagoya – Japans 4th largest city. The top floor provides a panoramic view of the city, while adjoining Ninomaru Garden is one of the few remaining castle gardens in Japan, offering visitors the chance to relax in a teahouse.

The renowned Chrysanthemum Exhibition has captivated Graham since he first saw it in 1980 in the castle gardens. Chrysanthemum flowers range in size up to 50cm and from one to 5,000 blooms per plant.
