There are many things that I got intrigued about in the
field trip. The Japanese Garden was beautiful in many sense and truly , it felt
as if I was transported to a quiet and peaceful place.

The entrance gate: The entrance gate is not known by many, but
it is called a torii, 鳥居. A torii is a traditional Japanese gate that is most
frequently encountered at the entrance to or inside a Shinto shrine, where it
serves as a transitional symbol from the ordinary to the sacred. This was
supposed to represent entering a tranquil setting free from outside noises and
bustling lives that happens outside the gate. It makes people feel as if they
are entering paradise, in a sense.
The bridge: The act of crossing the bridge represents the
transition from the physical world into the afterlife and the subsequent
release from one's material obligations. Through this voyage, the traveler
gains a metaphorical sense of innocence, inner tranquility, and kinship with
nature.
The waterfall: The hidden waterfall represents peace and
tranquility.

The Bridge: I'm reminded of the romantic Japanese dramas I
used to watch when I see The Bridge. They enjoy a day off known as a
"white day," when they are taken out by their lover, crush, or other
special someone. This location is typically on a bridge, beneath magnificent
Sakura trees that make everything appear pink and stunning. They express their
love for one another there in the cheesiest, ugliest, and most romantic way
possible.
The small waterfall takes me back to a period when my
mother used to take the family and I to the beach in Somalia. I can remember
how it kept us cool from the sweltering sun and gently stroked our bodies, as
well as how I nearly drowned several times that day hahaha.
