Marking the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, Eucalypts of Hodogaya reflects on a remarkable story of post-war reconciliation and remembrance.
Nestled among cherry blossoms and hinoki pines on the outskirts of Yokohama lies a breathtaking war cemeteryโthe final resting place for over 1,500 Commonwealth service personnel. Designed and built by Melbourneโs Anzac Agencyโnow the Office of Australian War Gravesโthe Yokohama cemetery is considered one of the most exceptional examples of funereal landscape architecture ever created.
This exhibition explores how Australian and Japanese architects, gardeners, and builders overcame cultural divides after the Second World War to collaborate on a site that blends Eastern and Western traditions in a garden of peace.
