The site was obvious and evident that the possibility of creating a Japanese garden that had all the elements necessary. In existence was the water and borrowed scenery, and with the added vegetation, ornaments, stones, gravels, sands, ponds, streams, waterfalls, islands, bridges, hills, buildings, oaths, the dream and reality had begun.
