"We sustain pockets of water through sustainable design, but we must also sustain the human mind," says Hoichi Kurisu. "Pockets of water are precious, but it is more important to save the human heart."
The gardens speak of timeless truths and rhythms, providing therapeutic insights.
"Listen to, cherish and act upon the inspiration the gardens impart," says Kurisu. "We exchange burden, boredom and despair for renewal, inspiration and hope. Plants have no ego or pride, no jealousy or anger. We set aside the negative part of our nature and let the garden smoothly and calmly affect the mind and spirit."
