(PRESS RELEASE)_DELRAY BEACH, FL – Since its opening in 1977, Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens has been an epicenter for Japanese arts and culture in South Florida. The idyllic museum offers a distinguished roster of rotating exhibitions, tea ceremonies, a Seishin-an tea house, educational programs, and exciting cultural events as well as a thriving community outreach program. On October 1, Morikami is pleased to announce the reopening of the Yamato-kan. Its original museum building, the Yamato-kan is modeled after a pristine Japanese villa. It also features exhibition rooms embracing an open-air landscaped courtyard with a dry garden. Yamato-kan was named after Yamato, the original colony of Japanese settlers who farmed a large area of land in Boca Raton starting in 1904. The word means, “great peace,” and the early immigrants felt it an appropriate name for their new home.
