The Kenrokuen Garden is an enchanting historic landscape garden located in the city of Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. It is considered one of the three most famous gardens in Japan and was established during the Edo period in the 17th century. The name "Kenrokuen" literally translates to "Garden of the Six Attributes", referring to the six elements that traditional Chinese landscape design believes should be present in an ideal garden: spaciousness, seclusion, artifice, antiquity, waterways, and panoramas.

Spanning approximately 11.4 hectares, the garden offers a picturesque setting with a harmonious combination of hills, ponds, trees, bridges, and pavilions. 
Kenrokuen is renowned for its aesthetic design and careful placement of plants, rocks, and waterways, creating a perfect balance between natural and artificial elements.

The flexible design light line VENUS was precisely installed on the steps of the creek that runs between the road and the stone wall. The main goal was to emphasize the natural beauty of the surroundings and create a captivating atmosphere that shines both during the day and at night. Of particular note is the subtle effect of the VENUS IP67, which accentuates the green color of the moss.

The IP67 certification ensures that the VENUS IP67 functions reliably even in changing weather conditions and is protected against water, dirt, and dust ingress. This ensures that the luminaire can deliver optimal performance even near water in the Kenrokuen Garden without risk of damage or compromise.
