A Japanese artist, designer, composer & label founder based in Auroville, India
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. -JNE
