12. The Official View: Taito-ku: [Asakusa, Negishi, Yanaka] Chuo-ku: [Tsukishima] Putting the flowers in the road is not permitted. We cannot control the flower pot gardens. There are no rules for dealing with flower pot gardens in Chuo-ku.

13. The Official View: Taito-ku: [Asakusa, Negishi, Yanaka] We think to preserve the flower pots because they are simply the last individual green such as garden and green roof which can be considered. “ 区内の貴重な緑として、緑量にカウントしています。 今後も保全すべき緑として考えていきます。 ( ただい、あくまでも個人の庭や屋上緑化等の緑に対してです。 ”)

15. “A garden is the last luxury of our days, because it demands what has become most rare and precious in our society: - time, consideration and space.“ Dieter Kienast
