We have a patio at Shiro.<\/p>\n

But the patio and trees were left untouched for too long.<\/p>\n

\"\u526a\u5b9a\u524d\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A little chaotic, we couldn’t tell if it was a garden or a forest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hence this time, we invited the prestigious Japanese gardening specialist, Uehiko of Kyoto. Mr. Uehiko is a popular gardener famous all over the island.<\/p>\n

After a brief inspection, the trimming began.<\/p>\n

\"\u526a\u5b9a\uff11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He climbed up the trees in a second without using a ladder.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\u526a\u5b9a2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A view of Mr. Uehiko in action front the second floor. We couldn’t find him easily.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\u526a\u5b9a3\"<\/a> His resting place was of course also on a tree.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\u526a\u5b9a4\"<\/a>It was unbelievable that he was working on foot on such a small, skinny tree.<\/p>\n

\"\u526a\u5b9a5\"<\/a>What a professional.<\/p>\n

\"\u526a\u5b9a6\"<\/a>I could see he loves his job so much.<\/p>\n

\"\u526a\u5b9a7\"<\/a>The tree transformed as time passed by and the sky became brighter as it slimed down.<\/p>\n

He also trimmed the adjacent tree.<\/p>\n

All in just 2 hours.<\/p>\n

The bushy garden….<\/p>\n

\"\u767d\u5ead1\"<\/a>was transformed drastically into a bright, warming and comfortable patio.<\/p>\n

\"\u767d\u5ead2\"<\/a>What a before-after phenomenon. I couldn’t believe it. We now know why there was a fire lamp in the middle of the patio.<\/p>\n

\"\u767d\u5ead3\"<\/a>A view from the second floor.<\/p>\n

I was surprised how much the garden changed in hand by the gardener.<\/p>\n

“The word ‘family’ in Japanese is written by two kanjis \u5bb6and \u5ead which mean a ‘house’ and a ‘garden’.<\/p>\n

I now fully understand what the gardener told me before the trimming.<\/p>\n

I feel like there is more fresh air flowing in the house.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much Mr.Uehiko!<\/p>\n
