The Chicago Botanic Garden in the northern suburbs of Chicago is an oasis of senses.
Βy the end of May and throughout the summer the garden offers a delightful dew shelter.
There are plenty of thematic gardens, but the garden that travels you in another place, is the Japanese
Garden: Sansho-en, garden of three islands. You are no longer in the Botanic Garden. You are in a Japanese
country in another time.
There is a small lodge, a reproduction of those that the nobble Japanese were accustom to use for
concentration, reading, writing or painting, and it makes you feel envy of the era and the place.
The little house is located literally on the water and in the green. Wooden and metallic wind chimes hanging
from apertures and trees, produce dream sounds, as they swinging with the slightest breeze. Can't avoid the
thought (or the wish) you could live in a such a little home like that...
The other fascinating point of this garden is the Zig Zag bridge that connects two of the three islands.It is
built in a way to block the passing of the bad spirits that according the Japanese lore can walk only straight...
