very relaxing and beautiful! Thank you 🙏👏

Love this video! So calming and helpful.

WHY COULD"NT IT BE RICE?! 😭😭😭

Thank you for you hard work. Absolutely brillant. From a French guy living in Kyoto 🌿

I totally understand what you’re saying: my Bamboo hedge in the early morning sun is especially breathtaking. As is the morning dew.

I love this piece of music. But most of the images are waterlilies (Nymphaea sp.) not Lotus (Nelumbo sp.)

Miso is fermented soy loaded with salt which gives it taste. Soy sauce is a miso production by product also loaded with salt. Many international flavorings are also loaded with salt. The Japanese love salty foods. Nori is great and a possible world food source and is available in several flavors. It's often eaten as a snack. Nori is a good addition to soups and salads and has a very long shelf life. Green tea/matcha is bitter. I find it easier to use in bulk by adding other herbs and spices as a food flavoring. Natto was very well explained.

Where do you find fresh Natto in Buffalo?

Just ate a package of nori roasted in olive oil that a friend gifted me. It's quite tasty. Thanks for the tips. I'm not sure where I might find natto locally - perhaps online?

Wow! Thank you. The best video I’ve ever watched. I’m in love with these principles.

Wonderful 👏 Thank you for sharing these concepts. I especially love the paradox that we can often make something appear spontaneous and natural only after many, many hours of practice. 👍

One camera, one lens ✅ Monochrome ✅ Solitude✅ Mindfulness✅ How it all adds up✌️🇦🇺

Were you able to get off and on to take pictures?

Did you paint or stain it black? I have cedar lap board siding but from my research it’s a bad idea to paint it as the wood needs to breathe but there’s already a brown stain on the house and I am unclear if that needs to be sanded off to stain it black.

awesome, inspiring, a path for my life, thank you

very inspiring

I have always thought care homes should make gardens around them to get the people outside gardening Great video

Hi buddy, I'm curious if you put any effort into making the bubbles smaller ? Thanks for the great video. I have alot of difficulty getting even small bubbles like you have on most of your charred planks. I've been doing it fo ryears and noticed that the smaller bubbles are way more resistant to cracking. Have any suggestions ?

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.

Amazing video, thank you

Bonjour Joshua Gensetsu! Has always, great video! I find it difficult to capture the beauty of dew with my camera. Maybe it's because of my rather rudimentary equipment. I fail to grasp the the finesse of it. Have any tips for me? Your video convinced me to try again. On the philosophical side...well...lately I feel that time and trials are like the sun evaporating the dew of my fragile existence.🥀🍁 Thanks again!

So in the zone! I used to relish these experiences through the lens medium, what a gift.

Amazing video it looks incredible there Thank you

Just finish painting my brick house went with sherwin williams Cyberspace color dark charcoal Love it !! Im on long Island ny , are you in Adirondack? Great job by the way 👏

finally some informative and not token tacky content on japanese gardens in english! if theres any other channels youd reccomend would love to hear

I'm somewhat partial to the Japanese Bellflower along with some contained bamboo as well as 2-3 different varieties of Japanese Maples. I Have some azaleas but don't consider them full enough to set in my overall main plan but at a outer area planting because of it's commonality in our area Of the Mid-Atlantic. Because Moss is difficult to get now i have been playing with the idea of brighter shade greens of Artificial turf to reduce maintenance.

Just going through videos about Japanese gardens. Found your videos and these have been very helpful! Backyard we have a small pond with carved water fall rock and trying to enhance it to Japanese style with surroundings. Front yard we have BIG beautiful rock with couple of low Mugo pines around it. Trying to figure out to thin out them like bonsai-style and add maybe sand/gravel around them. Trying to figure how to keep weeds out and achieve an easy maintenance for those two spots....

thx for laying it out like that. super helpful

So glad I for this channel

What a beautifully inciteful piece of art you have brought to each and every one of us. Thank you

who do you recommend buying gravel or the small white-ish rocks for Japanese style rock garden

Well explained. Thank you.

Thank You for your dedication to share your knowledge of Japanese Gardens. The explanations of details and trivia for all the Gardens aspects adds to the appreciation of the total experience. I love making Japanese Gardens around our house for our " "Shinrin - Yoku ", and these are the elements make them all complete. BTW, Josh, my Shizen Style Coffee MUG arrived yesterday. Thank You...... 🙂

This channel is amazing and i love your information. I stumbled over it after going down the rabbithole of obsession with Japanese Gardens from playing a videogame (Ghost of Tsushima) of all things 😂 But i had always enjoyed and appreciated them, regularly visit the ones local to me, and even had engagement photos taken at one because to me it is quite literally the MOST beautiful landscaping in this entire area. But that idea sort of always just existed inside of me as a feeling i didn't have the words to deacribe. And your channel and teachings about the different philosophies that the gardens are designed around really helped me make sense of it. I think what i appreciate the most about the Japanese Garden is that unlike American gardens that cut out nature entirely and replace it with artificial decoration and unnatural flowers that are very "loud", it feels like Japanese Gardens sort of "bend" nature, leaning more into the essence of what was already at home there, but then cultivating it and shaping it to something that feels intentional but without trying so hard as to be pretentious or ostentatious. It feels like being a steward of nature to give it shape witu purpose, rather than just replacing it with lots of colors. And for me, that balance of nature and order feels so soothing and fulfilling. Now I'm constantly contemplating how to shape the nature of the property i live on in that way to achieve this feeling every time i step outside. Theres a LOT to work with. Including decades old bamboo groves. But it will be gradual work. And i'll be checking this channel often for wisdom and inspiration. ❤
