 Architecture and landscaping meld exquisitely in
this showcase. Rocks, which in Japan symbolize the long life of the earth, combine with
water, symbolizing the sea, which the Japanese consider a source of life. These, with a
variety of trees and other plantings, blend with the Japanese architecture to produce an
authentic Asian experience.
A pagoda, which stands
prominently in the showcase, was modeled after an 8th-century structure in Japan. The
torii gate near World Showcase Lagoon is similar to the one in Hiroshima Bay. The
structure which houses the Mitsukoshi Department Store on the first floor and a formal
Japanese restaurant on the second was inspired by a portion of the Gusho Imperial Palace
in Kyoto.
