    Absolutely lovely, thank you.
    In my 60 years, I've lived deeply emersed in Japanese gardens, architecture and aesthetics as lifestyle. The beauty of home, the garden and the land that my family and I have loved and appreciated dearly, over generations continues to grow its roots with wonder and the gifts of time.
    I so appreciate your eloquence, explanations, examples, perspectives and your voice, especially in this particular episode.
    Delightful.

      Thanks for sharing that! I'm glad you are embracing a lifestyle with gardens, nature, and art intertwined. You're living in harmony. I'm glad you liked the style of video and it resonated with you.

      So nice of you, thanks! Enjoy your time there, hopefully it's finally cooling off there and you can get out and visit the gardens more.

    Thank you for educating us on ma. I had always focused on, for example, the shape of a japanese maple tree rather than the pruned space between the branches. That is what gives it it's style and beauty.

      It's so hard to focus on what isn't there, the empty space. It forces us to slow down and observe more of the object in connection with its surroundings.

    Ma is really difficult in a rather small backyard garden 😔, however I will try to improve it. Thank you 🙂🌿

      It's not easy! They say that the most difficult part isn't writing but editing.

    Well explained concept. Not over philosophical at all. I really like it.

    This was just the video I needed. I'm at the very beginning stages of creating my "ma" or empty space in the garden. I appreciate the comments of how to define the space in a " forest area" with some some of clear fencing or hedges. Wish me luck!

    Great video nicely put together (awesome Video/Photos)and narrated perfectly/great info also - Western gardens have both examples of symmetrical and asymmetrical balance. The romantic gardens developed by landscapers like Capability Brown (1700s) introduced a more romanticised natural garden - going to the point of removing walls and fences with the use of the Haha ( sunken fence) These new gardens including the cottage garden replaced almost all of the more formal gardens. Monet's garden late 1800s is also an example of an asymmetrical garden. Not sure how much of an influence the oriental style played into /on the designers like Brown though.

      Great thoughts, thanks for sharing. It would be interesting to know Brown had an asian influence.

    Love this, like all of your vids, Josh. Question, at 8:03 "odd numbers like 3, 6, and 9" - is 6 really ok, like 2 groupings of 3, or did you mean 3, 5, and 9? Thanks always.

      Glad you like the videos. Wow! That's the first time I noticed that. Congrats on your detailed listening! I think you're right, in my mind I was picturing 2 groups of 3. So I probably should have just stuck with 5, would be more correct and less confusing. I've seen 2 groups of 3, but still they weren't the same symmetrical triangle layouts.

    Another awesome video! I've learned so much and in particular framing the garden. I'm in the final stages of my garden and I've gone back to the drawing board to incorporate your teachings. Thank you!

      Thanks! The planning part is probably the most important, but once you have the basis you can always tweak it along the way. Good luck with creating your garden space!
