GARDEN
Waiting Bench
Japanese garden designer and builder for sixty years
or more, doesnt like manuals. Most important
of all is to put your heart into your work. This is
what he told me about twenty years ago when we
first met. His work has appeared in many Japanese
garden magazines over the years and in a previous
work of mine. This is his first book in English and,
at my request, it is a manual.
hes a stranger to teaching. But his world is not that
of academia or computer-generated layouts and
perspectives. Over the years, he has taught his craft to
many who have worked for his company, Yasumoro
Teien. He has also taught in many two- or three-day
seminars sponsored by the Japanese Garden Society
and others. In these hands-on sessions, a group of
garden professionals and students create a garden,

it is quite good. But his family was poor and he
needed a way to earn money. One of his favorite
subjects to paint was the landscape. When I was
fifteen years old, I was sent to Tokyo Metropolitan

Yoshinaga went on to become an authority on the
history of Japanese gardens. He wrote many books,
including Composition and Expression in Japanese
Traditional Gardens . Yasumoro spent his high
school years learning the history and construction
of Japanese gardens. Another teacher, Rikyo
Takahashi, sent me to assist Teizo Niwa. Teizo Niwa

Shinjuku Gyoen garden. Yasumoro spent between
four and five years studying under both men.
Niwa-sensei influenced him to travel around the
country. After graduating high school, Yasumoro set
off on his own to see all the gardens he could. Over
the next six years he lived rough, traveled, and
worked part-time for other garden designers. He
became greatly impressed by the terraced fields and

Katsuo Saito, from whom he learned about the
correct form of trees and about making ponds. With
Saitos five-man crew he made many gardens, such
as the garden for the national broadcaster NHK, a
garden for the Japan Railway school for employees,
and a garden for the chairman of Fujiya confection

worked, through a large construction company, for
the renowned architect, Antonin Raymond, then in
his eighties. He worked on gardens for Raymonds
projects such as the Iranian Embassy in Tokyo and a
house for the president of Takashimaya department
store. He also did some work at the architects Tokyo
office. Yasumoro was in his twenties and he recalls
that Raymond and his wife both doted on him. For
the home of Takashimayas president in Minato
ward, Raymond wanted a garden that gave a unique
view from each room of the house. The architect was
very concerned about nature, telling Yasumoro to
only cut dead branches, never living ones, and to be
careful not to kill the ants when disturbing the
ground. He insisted on a garden as natural as
possible.

through college. But most schools do not teach tradi
tional garden design and construction. Schools teach
apartment buildings, offices, shopping malls and
amusement parks. Students learn standards, regula
tions, estimates, urban planning and the things that
make for getting a license and starting a successful
business. Agricultural colleges prepare students for
positions in modern farming, nurseries and other
agricultural professions. Forestry departments focus
on forests, water resources and wildlife management.

words, apprenticeship.
and stamina. It is the way of all Japans traditional
crafts, from cloth-dyeing to woodworking. Each
year thousands of students from around the world
come to this country to learn a craft from a master.
The level of experience and teaching ability of the
master varies. The traditional system, which is all
but gone, saw students working in the masters
studio for many years. Students lived in the masters
house, received a very small stipend, and gained
little in the way of praise. But those who stuck it out
got an education they could receive in no other way.
make a garden, none of this applies to you. I include
it here for your information. For the average person,
it is natural to ask an experienced friend or a clerk at
a garden supply store for help, or to pick up a book
and start cold. In that case, you might be wondering
about the exhortation at the beginning of this
introduction: Dont follow this manual. It refers to
Yasumoro-senseis firm belief that you should
develop your own approach to the Japanese garden,
not rely too much on the ideas in a book. The only
way to study how to make a garden is, as Yasumoro
says, Dig a hole.
Digging a hole in the area where you plan to make
your garden tells you several things. It tells you what
kind of soil you have. Is it rocky, sandy, clay or even
landfill? Dig a hole 5 feet (1.5 m) deep and you will
know. Does the hole immediately fill with water?
You may need to put in a drain. The kind of drain
will depend on where you live and the rules govern
