NIWA records Japanese gardens, garden craft, the work of artisans, and the time that flows through a garden — in film, photography, and words.
Soundless garden walks, articles that read the background of each place, and records of our coverage — delivered to readers in Japan and abroad.
NIWA as media
Not only famous gardens, but unnamed gardens, small tsubo-niwa courtyards, and the gardens of hotels and restaurants. A place to record a garden's design philosophy, its craft, and the turning of the seasons.
