InterKoi Kalkar Japanese Garden - Exhibition (2018)

A Small Piece of Kyoto for all Visitors
Yokoso Japanese Gardens was tasked with constructing an exhibition stand at InterKoi in Kalkar, Germany, aiming to replicate a small piece of Kyoto. We built a charming 4 x 4 meter teahouse/client area from scratch, primarily using Western Red Cedar. Surrounding the teahouse, we crafted a delightful small Japanese garden, incorporating a variety of authentic Japanese rocks, ornaments, and trees.

The Japanese garden featured two small, elevated borders showcasing a very old white Pine, Enkianthus Campanulatus, Acer Palmatums, ferns, and Ophiopogon grasses. In this space, we carefully arranged a stunning antique Kasuga stone lantern, reclaimed millstones, sizable rocks, and granite slabs. The result was a creation that approached perfection, truly resembling a piece of Kyoto. The veranda quickly became a favored spot for visitors to relax and daydream.
