    I will be transforming my backyard into a Japanese Garden or Niwa soon. Thank you for the video!
    My goal is to create a Roji since I currently have a 10×10 stucco w/tile roofing gazebo in my yard that will be made into a teahouse.

    I so hope I can create something before I lose my mind and thoughts . I would then love to set down my mind in a NIWA designed and made by me for me. only then can I descend into that tranquility and solitude and be able to enjoy …. uh. I should get going that was so beautifully relayed .
    a good teacher makes you feel like you know the stuff already and its just a reminder. but you don't really. stimulated enthused. thanks

    Thank you so much for the education last night. I am in the process of building a Japanese garden and this gave me meaning and understanding. I am building this with much intention and love so I hope I can bring all of this to my little space. I am so happy to have found your channel. Much Kindness and gratitude.

    I have read about 10 books on various Japanese gardens, styles, history. I have also watched about 100 YouTube videos on Japanese gardens. This was the best and most informative as to the principles of the garden. Excellent video! I subscribed.

    I live in a city in a small apartment, but I love this style and would like to create a little 'garden' on my balcony.
