I removed a recently added "See also" reference in this article because it duplicated a link in the body of this article. This was probably added because the Roji-en article is named Roji-en Japanese Gardens, while the gardens, which are part of the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, are properly called Roji-en: Gardens of the Dew, and are so referenced in this article. I hope to clarify this naming in the near future. - Dalbury 22:22, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Category question

Should this article be in the category Japanese-style gardens? Since Roji-en is in that category, it seems unnecessary to have this article as a second entry in the same category. Fg2 00:22, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

It's not a big deal. The Roji-en article was written as though the gardens were an an entity separate from, or even superior to, the museum, but the gardens are really part of the Morikami Museum. I do intend to clean this up some more, but I've been putting it off until I could take some pictures of the museum, and that has been postponed because of the damage from Hurricane Wilma. The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens also has a bonsai garden that is separate from the Roji-en, so technically the category probably should apply to this article rather than the Roji-en article. Again, I hope to clean this up eventually. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 01:42, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed merge

The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens are only one element in Morikami Park. It is also home to the American Orchid Society Visitors Center and Botanical Garden and to an area called the Biwa Pavillion, which are not part of the Museum and Gardens. So, the answer is no, they are not the same thing. -- Donald Albury^(Talk) 03:38, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
