Invitations to the 1990 and 1992 Sarah P. Duke Gardens receptions celebrate the dedication of the Kasuga Lantern and the Main Gateway of the Asiatic Arboretum, a venue for Japanese cultural exploration. Durham is a sister city to Toyama, Japan. As President Brodie remarked during the Gardens’ fiftieth anniversary, the Duke Gardens “are the Chapel’s proper complement, for the gardens also speak to the deepest human needs for spiritual regeneration, providing a sanctuary, a refuge from the heat of the day and the turmoil and worries of the world.”
