Warakuen

This is a landscape design project in Johana, Toyama Prefecture. To create order to a large site, a folly will be set up in the center of the site. A black wall swung 45 degrees inserted in the folly makes a sequence and we go inside along this wall.

To start a new story from the existing well on the site, I place stone benches and tables that blend in with the landscape. The composition of the diagonal elements in the square also overlaps with the arrangement in Japanese tea ceremony, where a ladle is placed diagonally on the furnace.
