When I was 2 years old, I fell down from the second floor window of my house. I was saved by the branch of a tree in the garden.
One day when I was 15, the topic of cutting the tree came up. I wanted the tree in our garden, because the tree saved my life. But the gardener said ” It’s better to cut off this old tree and buy new one. It’s worthless to keep it! ”
At the end, the tree stayed in our garden. But I still remember what he said about the tree which made me so upset.
5 years later, I started working as a gardener.
Destiny led me to name my company “庭譚-niwatan – A story of the garden”, knowing that every family has its own memory or a story of their garden as I do.
-庭譚- 庭づくりとは、ものがたり(譚)をつくること
2歳の時、2階の窓から転落し1本の樹に命を救われる。15歳のある日、その樹を伐採する話になるも、「命の恩木」を生かしたいという気持ちが芽生える。ところが、ある庭師に「こんなボロ木は捨てて新しく買った方がいい。動かす価値は無い」と・・・それでも生かすこととなるが、子供ながらにイラついた事を覚えている
そして運命なのか、それから五年後に庭師をはじめることとなる。”譚”の由来はその時決まっていたのかもしれない・・・
