Niwa of Yashirodai

The trees taking roots in this garden are crowned ones with no lower branches and ones with one-sided branches. These lanky trees are transplanted from mountain. Mud stones as scenic stones, Tanba platy andesites as stepping stones, and Italian stones as a flower bed wall did we arrange. Solidified mudstones are not gaudy and quietly blend into the scenery. Sepia granites are laid on ends and surround the house as retaining walls.

These elements snuggle and compliment each other, and over the years nurture an inartificial form. Just like they ask for nothing, never compete each other, and self-possessed…. If each element is utilized in their own way, the apodictic matière comes into existence.
