To create an image of native species and ecosystems, traditional colors familiar since the Edo period (Edo purple, wakaba-iro, crimson, rape blossom color, etc.) are used.
Enoki leaves are used for the wings of a wild bird (Japanese white-eye), and enoki nuts (red circles), a favorite food of Japanese white-eyes, are drawn on the tip of the beak to express the connection among wildlife through the planting of native species.
The rounded edges of the Fuji with its clusters of flowers of different sizes represent the harmony (circulation) of the ecosystem. The image of a place where a variety of creatures, from large trees to undergrowth, live and grow.

We ask you to submit a report on the management status of the registered green space once a year.
Then check to see if there have been any significant changes to the shape of the green space and if it continues to meet the registration requirements.
