Yokohama
Yokohama is a major port city in Japan, located south of Tokyo. It was a small fishing village until 1859, when it opened as one of Japan’s first international ports after the country ended its long period of isolation, rapidly transforming into a hub for foreign trade and Western influence.

“The Moveum” is a conceptual cultural site, often imagined as a dynamic, interactive museum dedicated to the history and future of human movement and transportation.

Seya Ward is a residential ward located in the northern part of Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.

The International Horticultural Exposition is a large-scale, temporary global event sanctioned by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH) that showcases garden design, floriculture, and sustainable green development. Each edition, hosted by a different city every few years, creates a themed park-like environment to promote international cooperation in horticulture and environmental awareness. For example, the 2019 exposition was held in Beijing, China, focusing on the theme “Live Green, Live Better,” while previous notable editions include the 1990 exposition in Osaka, Japan, which helped popularize green roof technology.
