Garden Knowing

When it comes to managing Japanese gardens, the most important thing is that garden's "intrinsic value." Each garden's intrinsic value is different, making it necessary to grasp comprehensively a vast range of information, from the purpose for which it is created, the activities that were held there, the types and qualities of materials its uses.
Each of the elements inside the garden, even things that may have been utterly ordinary at one time, can take on extraordinary value with the passage of time. Minute environmental changes can also impact ecosystems, making it desirable to survey and research gardens on an ongoing and continuous basis to grasp their intrinsic value.
Garden research is indispensable to realizing fostering that draws out a garden's intrinsic value. That is why Ueyakato Landscape engages in research that contributes to garden management dedicated to passing the garden onto the next generation.
