Happy New Year.
I have much appreciation to all of you who have been supporting me and am not simply thanks. . .
My resolution this year is I shed like Snails! ???
I know it does sound funny. Japanese use our own Chinese Zodiac. And this year is Snails. The meaning of it is ' More challenges' as I guess. Hope you would be still friends of mine.

By the way,
As movement of the beginning of the New Year ...
I have been on construction work since last December and it has been started to discuss since the beginning of 2012. This is for a private garden or could be said ' An exterior area ' as there are parking, Gate, and planting areas. What is unignorable is some families have difficulty in walk. I call this project ' A Generation garden'. Yes. Each of them have had thought of how it functions.
I believe that the garden has to be functional. I mean I want to let the owner enjoy with what they expected. It could be just to enjoy scenery in the garden or may be someone wants to get hands dirty. I try to know how they have had life and how it is going to be. Then I would prefer sharing some tips for them.
The garden is the same as building a house. The process is taken time to get kick in. Well, I like it. It is sort of making the history for the garden with the owner.
When the garden completed, and or later, if they remembered some stories and made laugh in all, that is what a beautiful moment as also it will be a page of their history. Of course we do the best to get work done by last!
I have to get back to the beginning...
At last this project has started.
I have imported the stones named the Yorkstone from England last year.
This garden has to stay on flat paving as much as we could design and also it has to be easy to see around for a walk. Therefore I thought to keep a viewpoint to the structure which needed height as suggestion of the designs rather than having some design on paving or etc. Of course planting will be British style. But it is the plan that the plant from parents generation that has been valued more than a generation plants surely.
This project will be updated in Blog later soon. I just wanted to share some photos how it has come with Yorkstones so far for a first blog!
Thank you for reading.
Must go now.
PS: I take the order only for stones from England. Please contact me by an inquiry form in Contact us.
新年明けましておめでとうございます。
旧年中は皆様からのたくさんのご厚誼を頂きまして感謝に尽きません。。。
今年も精進して参りたいと思いますので、何卒、何卒！宜しくお願い致します。
さて、
新年早々の動きとしては・・・・
昨年の2012年、年明け早々の案件がやっと先月の12月に着工となりました！玄関まわり、駐車場含め、門柱、花壇などなど、なかなかやりがいのあるプロジェクトです。今回の一番のポイントは、若い世代と、ご両親様、おばあちゃまのお宅。そうです。それぞれに想いがありました。
私は、お庭は機能的であること＝使うもの と考えています。景色を楽しむ為のお庭でも、実際にご自身の手を入れるお庭であっても、その方の日々に、楽しむエッセンスを添える事＝使いやすい空間のご提案に務めております。
お庭もお家を作るのと同じで、日本ではエクステリアと呼ばれる玄関まわりについても、ご相談から始まり決定になるまでにはたくさんの道のりがあるわけです・・・私はお庭の歴史の一歩と思っています。
完成してお渡しができる日、またその後までも、時折完成した以前の姿を思い浮かべながらお話しが弾む、そんな一コマがあったらいいな、そんな事を願っています。もちろん、完成まで気を抜かず、しっかりとお造りしますよ♪
話は飛びましたが・・・
やっとスタートしたこの度のプロジェクト。この度はイギリスより、ヨークストーンという名の石を輸入致しました。
歩行の困難なご家族がいらっしゃるこの度の案件では、特に足元をすっきりと歩きやすく、という事に務めました。その為に、デザインのご提案としては、高さを要する構造物に視点を持たせようと思ったのです。植栽のご提案はもちろんイギリス式で。ただ、世代を超えて大切にされてきたご両親世代からの植物も、確実に植樹する計画です。
続きは今後のブログでもアップして参りますが、まずはヨークストーンの様子をお知らせしたく、まずはこの辺で失礼致します！
追伸：石だけのご注文も承ります。お問い合わせフォームよりご連絡下さいませ。
One by one, I've impressed seeing his work. / 一つずつ、一歩ずつ、積みあがって行く過程には深みがあります。石職人のS君に感謝！
