This is the video documentary—possibly the first of its kind—of the construction of a Hoichi Kurisu Japanese garden from initial ground breaking to its final completion. Nathan Lawrence job-shadowed and recorded on video Kurisu and his crew over a period of several months as this amazing garden by this world renowned Japanese landscape architect took shape. At the end of the video is an interview of Mr. Kurisu as he discusses his views on the importance of the Japanese garden in modern culture and what keeps him going at age 86. This is a one-of-a-kind video that no garden enthusiast will want to miss.
