“Medicinal Herb Garden, which was established in 1684 by the Tokugawa
Shogunate. There are many histori plants and runs that indicate the long
history ofthe Botanical Gardens.
The Koishikawa Botanical Gardens were the birthplace of modem
scientific research in botany in Japan after the Meiji Restoration. At
present, research activities are focused on the diversity, evolution and
phylogenetic systematics of vascular plants and also plant
‘morphogenesis. Field studies are carried out in Japan and abroad,
including east and southeast Asia, Besides the living plant collection,
‘connected tothe Botanical Gardens are a herbarium with 1.4 million
specimens (including those of the associated University Muscum) and a
library of 20:000 books and journals.
