Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it!

Great channel sir. I’m proud to hear from a man who has actually dedicated years of his life to Zen atmospheres. I’m currently reading through D.T Sazuki, and I’m afraid Zen may be my new favorite pattern of thought. Thanks for making these videos 📿

Much appreciated! I ended up basically highlighting all of Zen and Japanese Culture years ago, a great book. I've also been drawn to Taoism, going with the flow...the 2 fit really well together as a philosophy/way of life.

Lovely video, very informative thank you very much.😊

Wow! Did I miss that!? I love dogwoods too.

I’ve had success with Camellia Sasanqua even here and WNY, the Ackerman hybrids to be specific. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that species of spirea, it looks beautiful. Not to mention I work at a nursery. I’ve also grown Japanese maples but not really too many of the other corner stone flowers. It seems like those are all native plants to Japan, so I wonder if some of these flowers are best to find a native look alike to one’s area? Not a flower, but I’ve also seen (in pictures) Lady palms used in some courtyard gardens. Probably in south Japan?

I have large rhododendron, azalea and hydrangea that grow well in my garden here in WNY. I don't think I mentioned it but hostas might be a nice addition with a purple or white flower seasonally. I bet that Sasanqua looks nice!

Can you use Daylillies in the japanese garden? In research I have found that they are native to japan but I do not know how distant of a relative the common ones that are sold at my local nurseries are. I use Moses Fire and Gentle Shepard for a red and white contrast.

Sometimes you see them at temples and shrines but more often then not they are a wild flower you see along hiking paths. The color is probably a little too bold and the flower a little too wild/uncontrollable for a traditional garden. That's not to say you can't plant them in some nice group formations in your garden. Just make sure you think about the scene when they aren't in bloom or the green stems are gone. Nestled against some boulders and evergreen boxwoods for example might anchor it nicely.

Hi, Although my question belongs to another of your videos, I will ask it here. Can a pond be incorporated into a tee garden as well as into a courtyard garden?

Hi, there are many examples of tea gardens with ponds. Have a look at Katsura Rikyu in Kyoto, the top picture on this page: www.insidekyoto.com/katsura-rikyu-imperial-villa-arashiyama has a tea house with a pond. Courtyard gardens just tend to be smaller but can still have a waterfall and pond.
