Isamu Noguchi: Peace Garden

 Isamu Noguchi designed  and competed this landscape in the year of 1957. It occupies 1700 square meters of land, and offers a place of peace and meditation in the heart of Paris. A stream, a lake, a bridge, shrubs and trees form this his creation. The cherry trees, plum trees and magnolias were imported from Japan. The "Peace Fountain"  in his garden is made of gray granite rock and engraved  with the word "Peace" in Japanese characters, placed backwards so that it is correctly reflected in the water that flows at the foot of the fountain.
