In Japanese, fueki ryuko (permanence and fashionability) means incorporating new change that is based upon the essence of what remains unchanged and must not be changed.
These words lay at the very foundation of our garden creation activities.
Japanese gardens have varied widely with the times, from the dry landscape garden (karesansui) that emerged from the rise of Zen Buddhism through the tea garden's emergence from the popularity of the tea ceremony.
At the foundation of Japanese garden creation, however, lies a living philosophy and aesthetic awareness that has existed since ancient times.
The garden creation philosophy of fueki (permanence) and the garden creation that meets the needs of the present day of ryuko (fashionability) are both indispensable elements for passing on Japanese gardens to the next generation. Through the philosophy, aesthetic awareness, and solid skills we have passed down from one generation to another, Ueyakato Landscape creates gardens that meet the current trend of the time by firmly basing ourselves upon tradition.
