Abstract:
Part of the Sarah P. Duke Garden, Culbertson Asiatic Arboteum landscape resembles that of Durham’s sister Japanese city, Toyama. Japanese culture is recreated in the machiai shelter reserved for tea gatherings. On a larger scale, it carries out the initiatives of Sister Cities International, which encourages good international relations between cities. It also fulfills Sister Cities Durham’s mission, by fostering peaceful relations between Durham and its sister cities in the United Kingdom, Tanzania, Russia, and Japan.
