This exhibition, which was the first of its kind, was a trial under three conditions: hydrangeas that are past their best time to visit in the park, high temperatures in traditional Japanese straw raincoat in the middle of summer, and water, while worrying about how beautiful they would be. We have taken all possible measures, such as replacing flowers and opening water tanks, but it is difficult to maintain the beauty for a long time in the midsummer sun, so we have decided to finish earlier than planned. We sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to it, and thank you for your understanding.
