Landscape Design / Sakutei

Sun ray passing through the leaves, gentle sound of breeze,
moisture and smell of ferns, and accents of seasonal blossoms.
A garden is a multiple sensory experience.
I am aspiring to make a garden as if I am composing a poetry.

Design less but bring harmony to allow the nature to speak and the visitors to feel peace in their heart.
A garden designer builds an invisible bridge.
A bridge that connects nature and man, matter and spirit.

I seek my answers in a timeless space.
There is no modern or classic but only appropriate proportions that I seek to bring from the subtle space.
What I heard from nature will be heard by the visitors.
Silence is inherent in all of us.
It is profound and eloquent.
