At the special project 'Traditional Morning Glories' at the Living Plants Garden, we will exhibit about 100 varieties and around 700 pots of 'changeable morning glories' with unusual flower shapes and leaf shapes that seem unbelievable since the Edo period. This time, our theme is 'Changeable Morning Glories of the End of the Edo Period,' and we will introduce panels on morning glory illustrations published during the late Edo period, such as the 'Thirty-six Selected Morning Glories,' 'One Morning in Three Capitals,' and 'Morning Quiet Beauty (Kagami)'.
