Geocache Description:

Please be respectful of the gardens and your surroundings. The Peace Garden honors Dr. Fujiya (Fuji) Kawashima, a widely respected professor of Asian History at Bowling Green State University who passed away in 2006.

Within the Simpson Garden Park, perhaps one of the most anticipated of the gardens is a Japanese Peace Garden, which will be the first in any municipality in northwest Ohio. The garden, which will comprise approximately a half-acre, will make use of the key components typical of Japanese gardens: stones, water and plants. Stones, which symbolize a sense of permanence, will be strategically placed in the garden, around ponds, the stream and bridges and elsewhere along a carefully laid out pathway. The water source will appear to be part of the natural surroundings, emanating from a waterfall that will gently cascade into a curving stream that will empty into two separate small ponds. Lanterns will be placed along the stream and ponds. Plants are another element of Japanese gardens, which typically comprise subtle green tones. Also some flowering trees (Japanese pines) and shrubs (Azaleas) will add a palette of color to the garden. A gated east entry into the garden with bamboo fencing will create a feeling of enclosure.
