LongTan Ribbon Tapestry. Our design partners from LongTan Park in Liuzhou, China, travelled to Cincinnati to open the Butterfly Show and see how their American partners interpreted their set pieces. Here they participate in the red prayer ribbon interactive we observed in their park.

Once visitors write their wishes and prayers on the red ribbons provided, Krohn staff attached the ribbons to the Buddha Pine in the Main Showroom.

At the close of the show, Jan collected all of the red ribbons from the showroom, pressed and wove them into a tapestry that Parks staff gave to our Chinese partners during our 2008 trip to LongTan Park to dedicate the Cincinnati/Liuzhou Friendship Garden. This is the face of the tapestry.
