In this case it is the combination of Japanese gardens, Bonsai, Haiku and Zen.

On this site you’ll find pictures of miniature Japanese and Zen- inspired gardens as well as my version of Haiku, the traditional Japanese form of poetry.

For the uninitiated, Haiku is a 17- syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Although, Haiku has strict rules in the Japanese form, I took liberty in writing and doing my own version with regards to the theme and construction but still adhere to the basic 5-7-5 pattern.

The Bonsai and the miniature gardens were inspired by the works of my father albeit on a smaller scale, a Japanese Artist and Landscaper in his time. I also added my own ideas and now evolve to what is now what I call the “Mitsuru” versions.

So it is on this website were the ideas, the verses, the gardens were fused as one complete picture for you to enjoy.

Domo arigato.
