Niwaki Field Report No. 2: Lessons from the nursery
There’s nothing like catching up with old friends, and for Niwaki Field Report No.2, Jake sat down with pruning buddy Futoshi to reminisce about their time at the Furukawa Teijuen nursery in Osaka. Jake was just a newbie back then, but luckily, Futoshi had some advice, which he set down in two letters – one to Jake, and one to his wife, Keiko.
Despite living thousands of miles apart, Jake and Futoshi have followed similar paths, and the letters – now treasured possessions – are as valuable today as they were thirty years ago.
Watch the video below, then pick up a copy of Niwaki Field Report No. 2 to read the full story, ‘Lessons from the nursery’, and to enjoy the other features on Portland Japanese Garden, Beth Chatto, the hunt for the perfect shrine and much more.
