"Garden is authentic in every detail [and filled with symbolism]. The basic style of the garden is known as Chisen-Kaiyushiki, or “wet garden with promenade”, and is fashioned after those strolling gardens which were built during the 18th and 19th centuries for Japanese feudal lords on their vast estates.” -The Japanese Garden
Kanso means simplicity. Meditate, contemplate, enjoy.
