The Flat Garden (hira niwa) is meant to be viewed from the verandah of the Garden Pavilion, a low-slung structure used for exhibitions and special events. According to the official map of the Portland Japanese Garden, the Flat Garden is designed using a sea of raked sand. The two islands of plantings depict a round sake cup and gourd-shaped bottle, signifying pleasure and a wish for the visitor’s happiness.
