The dry waterfall of the carp and the dragon

The first feature built in the park by the hands of a Japanese master: three days, not a drop of water.

Сухой водопад Рюмонбаку

“Dear friends, today an astonishing masterclass with Hiromi came to an end. Under careful guidance a complex dry waterfall of the carp and the dragon has been created!”

“Every stone was chosen by Hiromi and carries its own purpose and meaning. This waterfall is a work of art among Japanese gardens. Not every master in Japan could do work like this.”

The workshop took place on 20–22 June 2025 on the grounds of the future park. The organiser was the Green Arrow international centre of landscape art.

A year later a lizard settled on the waterfall, and in the park she counts as a mascot: “a real little dragon”.

Who took part
Hiromi Hoshi, Irina Andrianova. Organised by Green Arrow.

How it turned out

The garden opens in 2029, but you can get inside sooner

The Founders' Club — tours of the park as it is being built and a chance to see it being made from the inside.
