Spring Festival Brochure
Japanese Society President Harvey Yamagata says this year’s zodiac symbol represents a new perspective from last year’s Year of the Ox.
The tiger denotes strength, vitality and growth - qualities that will hopefully stand us in good stead as we look to move past the challenges brought by the pandemic,” Yamagata said. “With new growth on trees and shrubs, warmer weather and the chance to be in beautiful outdoor surroundings, the spring festival corresponds nicely with those attributes.”
Festival admission this spring offers a triple benefit, said Executive Vice President Bob Byers. “The large outdoor Stickwork exhibit is still up, waiting for in-and-out discovery and exploration. In addition, David Rogers’ Big Bugs have invaded the Garden on a gargantuan scale and offer a role reversal of dimension and perception.”
