Designing a Traditional Japanese Garden《Shokunin Diaries - 職人ダイアリー》

《Ep. 2》Kyoto, Japan | Tag along with Yoshikawa-san, a professional landscape gardener who has been in charge for creating some of the beautiful gardens found in MACHIYA INNS & HOTELS' machiya (traditional Japanese accommodations). He has created hundreds of different Japanese garden designs throughout Japan over the last 55 years. We interviewed him in this video to ask about his thought process behind how he designs his Japanese gardens, and why he has chosen to continue this particular profession for most of his life. Japanese gardens in traditional Japanese homes are notoriously small, but as you'll learn, even small Japanese gardens can have a large presence.
