Garden renewal / Kamakura, Kanagawa, Japan / Autumn

Garden renewal into a manageable open landscape

Old materials and excess shrubs were removed, maintenance paths were restored, and gravel and groundcover zones were redrawn.

Client request

The owner could no longer maintain the garden at its former intensity, but wanted to keep meaningful trees and simplify care.

Craft note

Garden closure is not an ending. It is a way of changing the distance between a household and its garden.
