This garden is based upon the Japanese tradition that two essential elements are harmony and balance. Rocks display strength and stability, water is soft and surrendering. The pond spreads quietly from north to south. Stones, large forged granite and small round antiquities define the outcrops and rest in and out of the water. You can see the sunlight shimmering in the pond, and the blue sky mirrored in its depths. Two bronze cranes stand symbolizing hope and a gentle fountain reaches towards the sky. Here you can take a moment to inhale the stillness and beauty of this place and be inspired by the symbolism in everything. |
