Harmony Garden
京都の町屋に山から海に流れ込むような大きな水の循環を感じる庭を作らせていただいた。南禅寺に代表される東山の水景を引き込み、庭の大部分を池とした。町屋の中庭に小さな生態系が息づく庭となっている。
The subject of the project is to create a garden in a traditional Kyoto machiya (townhouse), where a large water circulation, flowing from the mountains to the sea, can be felt. The garden incorporates the water features of Higashiyama, represented by Nanzen-ji Temple, and most of the garden is designed as a pond. It has become a garden where a small ecosystem thrives in the inner courtyard of the machiya.

東山の水がこの庭にも続いていくように大きな池を中庭の中心に据え、それを取り囲むように樹木を配置した。東山の方角を水源とし、大きな舟形石から流れ込んだ水が溜まり、池になったように演出した。
To create a sense that the waters of Higashiyama continue into this garden, a large pond was placed at the center of the inner courtyard and trees arranged around it. The direction of Higashiyama serves as the water source, with water flowing from a large boat-shaped stone, collecting and forming the pond, creating a natural and artistic flow.
池の周囲には迫り出してくるように樹木を配置することで、光を求めて枝葉を広げる自然の風景をここに作り出した。
By arranging the trees to extend outward around the pond, a natural landscape where the branches and leaves spread out in search of light were created.
