  1. The significance of the garden for Kyoko is to give her a chance of relaxation and alleviation while she is already exhausted of the long caring her illness husband. The book said, “Kyoko thought that by working in the garden she might regain that part of herself which it seemed she was losing in the fatigue of the long nursing.” (667) This sentence implies that she is using the garden’s work as a transition to release her gloomy and painful; hence she can really think logically and accept the fact of her husband will not live with her long.
