Garden and Surrounds
Beside the entrance to the museum, a statue of the Buddhist bodhisattva Jizo stands guard. Sugi (Japanese cedar) trees inhabit the garden.
The Japanese cedar grows to 40 meters in height, and one specimen, known as Jomon Sugi, on the southern island of Yakushima, is some 3,000 to 7,000 years old. The museum’s own Daio Sugi (Great King Cedar) is estimated to be around 3,000 years old.
