WHAT DOES THE PLANT USE ON THE STATION PLATFORM GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF?

E. Matsuo
The use of plants on the platform of railway stations illustrates the Japanese attitude toward the railway stations. Traditionally a station was considered to be a front entrance to a city. However, this attitude has been partially changed by urbanization and industrial modernization, a station becoming thought of as a gate to a city in urban areas. However, regeneration of the traditional attitude among citizens is being observed.
