The Japanese Garden: Secrets of Natural Landscape Design
http://www.japansociety.org/event/the-japanese-garden-secrets-of-natural-landscape-design
From prominent temple gardens in Kyoto to the tranquil stone oasis at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Shiro Nakane is keeping the art of the traditional Japanese garden alive. Favoring subdued assemblages of stones and greenery over lush florals, the Japanese garden is revered for its calm, meditative quality. Son of garden master Kinsaku Nakane, Shiro began studying the craft as a young boy and has been following in his father’s footsteps ever since. He comes to Japan Society to share his insights on Japanese garden design gained through a lifetime of work in the field. Moderated by Stephen Morrell, Director of the John P. Humes Japanese Stroll Garden.
This program was funded, in part, by a generous grant from The Omomuki Foundation. In the 2015-2016 Season, Talks+ Programs at Japan Society were generously sponsored by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG). Reception was supported in part by the Portland Japanese Garden. Wine provided by Torii Mor. Sake provided by JOTO sake. Additional support was provided by Chris A. Wachenheim, the Sandy Heck Lecture Fund, Dr. Yuichiro Kuwama and Hiroko Onoyama.

Please, can you work on my garden please? I pay well. I mean it. Just got back from Kyoto last week, loved the gardens.
Does someone have the name of the book at 5:20 ? Sadly my Japanese isn't up to snuff 🙁
Just wonderful, been searching for "pictures of landscape design" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried – Giyily Landscaping Yatty – (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my work buddy got great success with it.
I wish the John P. Humes Japanese Stroll Garden was still as it was when Stephen was the curator.
Love this. ☯️💖⛩

wish someone could edit this video to put in at least 2-3 second gaps between each photo he's clicking thru.
he's clicking throught them way too quick to absorb anything.
i wish i could find a similar clip on small karesansui gardens, explaining why each rock is being placed where it is and how each rock is interacting with all the others and also in relation to the perimeter and wider landscape.
Dear person, genuine repentance and recitation of those words will protect you from coronavirus:
"Falun Dafa is Good" and "Truth, Compassion, Forbearance is Good".
Falun
Dafa (or Falun Gong) is a spiritual cultivation practice for mind and
body that is widely spreading in the world, it is based on the
principles of the Universe:
真 Truthfulness
善 Compassion
忍 Forbearance
It
includes gentle exercises and meditation. It helped millions of people
to regain health, peace of mind and obtain spiritual fulfilment. Since
1999 this peaceful practice has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in
Mainland China. More than 100 million people around the world practice Falun
Gong.
A genius in natural garden design and construction, absolutely brilliant !!!!!
Oooh.
Fantastic.
