Comment
Claude Monet's water garden at Giverny is adorned with a small wooden bridge that spans the end of the pond, where the pond becomes a stream again, ready to flow into the Ru.The arched shape of this bridge and its railing have earned it the name of Japanese bridge. Although he never visited Japan, Monet, like many of his contemporaries, was fascinated by the land of the rising sun.
