The landscape gardening technique official approval to be able to be carried out is the qualification that is convincing on running a landscape gardening business every year.

Takegaki(bamboo fence) we had introduced the video "Ibomusubi" "Decorating knot", "Aijyuen" offered the application of the bamboo fence which is for screening the outdoor machine. This is of course of a hand crafted using natural bamboo with an orthodox Ibomusubi. The advantage of the bamboo fence is to adjust in the its own purpose, size and form and to adapt itself naturally in the sight without harming a scene. The Japanese garden craftsman creates the scenes to provide the beautiful garden with their technique as usual.
Oni means the ogre which appears in Japanese Mythology.Onigawara is the roof ornamentation found in Japanese architecture, mainly Buddhist temples to protect against a disaster.
Onishi is the craftsman to create the roof tiles specialized in Onigawara. There are less than 20 Onishis in Japan now. These rare 2 Onishis sometimes create the other artworks using the same clay as Ibushigawara.
We are expecting to incorporate those Ibushigawara arts in our garden design.
