We reconstructed the client’s house in which he lived with his parents and children. That house had been used since his grandfather’s time. We reused the clay roof tiles, the wall mud and the pillars of former house to adorn the garden, which is encircled by the new house. 　　

When we are handed over not only an object but also its “En” (background), that surplus is beyond evaluation. We would receive both graciously and this transaction brings about “proliferation”. In a nook of a town, a tranquil time has floated here. And now, newly proliferated days come to be spliced onto it. I saw that the Ume tree, which the client’s father had raised tenderly, and scattered citrus trees were all abundant in fruit. In a corner of the garden, a camelia flower was blooming dignifiedly.
