It is wise to practice the tea ceremony(sado), flower arrangement(ikebana) and Noh play while working on Japanese gardens. Even if it's not so easy to start, it's better to learn them because you may find solutions with the help of other fields, when you have difficulties when working on Japanese gardens. All of these fields are deeply connected.
The heart of Japanese culture lies in the aesthetic and sensitivity.

I've had the chance to meet many great masters within the garden making, sado, ikebana, and the Noh play. I was able to aquire knowledge over a long period of time. I appreciate the people who introduced me to the masters, and owing to this, I can meet wonderful people more.
Today, I realize that immaterial things are born from material molding. I'm glad about the fact. I am planning to build one more profound garden.

The inspiration came to me during a lesson of Noh play. I myself wanted to perform Noh and asked the master for the permission. I got used to go to viewing Noh plays every week with the purpose to study.
Noh -singing and dancing can be learned at lessons, but the tonal range can't be learned in full depth. If you look at it seriously you can see the details of the play step by step. Furthermore, when you look carefully you should realize something which exists on the Noh stage. A mystical mood appears between the audience and the actor.
When I find a good Noh play, I don't want to stand up from my seat though the play is over and I wish that time stops... The main actor leaves the stage through the "hashigakari" (bridgelike entrance way to the main stage). Only a comfortable feeling is left.

Well, I wonder if I've ever encountered such garden which amazed me so much. Evidentally, I want to meet such a garden.
Maybe I can express this rapture also in the garden, and it will be the eternal garden!!
