つくってつくらず時が自然を生み出す 千葉県成田市の造園会社 庭 加藤

私の庭造一言庭石販売業を行っていた父親と、17歳より造園の世界に向かって働きだしたのです。18歳の時に庭石を車に積んで販売しましたが、余り業績は、芳しくなかった。毎日、車に石を積んで売れない時は、涙が出て止まらない事もしばしばありました。 時間を見ては「庭の本」を読んでいる内に考えが変わってきたのです。 私は、今でも余り植木の手入れや樹木の名称などに対し、一般の職人さん達から見た時 この様な自分で良いのか今でも切実に感じております。話しを少し戻りまして、18歳頃 に父親と家で働いている職人さんが植木の手入れを行っているのを見ながら、どの枝を 刈るのかと、どの枝を切らないなどとよく観察していました。

私自身は、植木の手入れ、庭石の組み合わせなども基本的には、まったくの独学で、植栽、石組、造園にたずさわる人達が、どのように考え、思考なのか20歳後半になって、佐久間庭園の佐久間昇氏と出会い２人で数時位、佐久間氏の修行時代のこと、庭造に、従事している人達の話しを聞かされました。その後に(社)日本庭園協会に若干29歳で会員に加入いたしました。又、研修に参加しましたが、この時は、小形研三先生に雑木の枝による、樹木名の試験でしたが、私は、30名位の中で30番目でした。このような時に小形先生は、私に対して、図面が書けなくても、植木の名前が判らなくても、造る事の出来る人はいるもだと声をかけて戴きました。人は一声でも変わるものです。

まったく経験がなくそんな状態で日数が過ぎていくうちに、地元の個人庭園を主に作庭を行っている東風(こち)庭園研究会の人達に会う事が出来ました。同研究会に対し紹介者が佐久間氏なのですが、今、60歳を過ぎたこの歳でも、深い意見で植木の手入れに対しても、いつもご指導を受けております。私しにとっては、新美な世界を学び非常に楽しいです。

20歳頃になってからは、自分で造った「庭」の写真を持って、営業に行きました。月曜日～金曜日。主に作庭は、土・日曜日に行っておりました。25歳過ぎ、「茶道・華道」の稽古を毎晩行っておりました。群馬県で生まれ、中学校迄まで、田舎に住んでいましたので、小さい時、山河にて遊び廻りました。岩松などを取る時に岩に登って、落ちるのではないかと思われる事が、しばし有りました。その時の岩肌についている苔・草・樹木、石等などの自然の姿を体に感じる事により、庭園に対する「自然美」・「心」癒しを思考することが出来だのかも知れません。

現在は、自分なりの考え方で出来るだけ庭に対し、楽しんで管理出来る「庭」又、見る事により美を感じられ、季節感を楽しめる草花などを利用し、特に「サツキ」・「つつじ」などは、多く利用しております。 自身の作庭は、個人庭園が中心として行っておりますが、皆様方の「庭」造りに、ご参考になればと思っております。

My career

Structure in my yard. Father and had been short, the selling business garden rock, I started working towards the world of landscaping at the age of 17. At the age of 18, was sold garden stones piled up in the car, performance was not very poor. Every day, when the car loaded with stone, not sell, even that does not stop the tears out, there was often. I think that has changed in reading the book "Garden" is the time to see. I, care of plants, such as the name for the tree, when viewed from our craftsmen still too general
We still keenly felt in what may be their own like this. The picture is feeling well while watching the saying that the care of the plants are craftsmen and came back a little story, is working at home with his father to the age of 18, and Why mow which branch, etc. Do not turn off the branch which was.

I myself, care of plants, basically, on his own at all, involved rockwork planted, to landscaping, the people, tell me how, in the late 20-year-old what a thought, garden Sakuma, as well as a combination of garden rock told the story of the people was that era when the number of training Ranked #, and Mr. Sakuma, an elephant garden, two people are engaged in meeting with Mr. Noboru Sakuma. Slightly to become a member at the age of 29 (s) and the Association of Japanese garden then, I participated in training, Watakushishi this time, by the branches of various kinds of small trees, was a test of the name Kenzo small trees to the teacher, the was ranked 40 th in 40. I received over a small voice teacher, for me, even without the drawings write, without knowing the name of gardener, who can make it and also that at a time like this. People are also changes in the voice.

I was able to meet the people of Garden Study Group (Dongfeng) easterly to go within the number of days past in such a state there is no experience at all, doing yard work on her feelings to the local private gardens. Sakuma, who I introduced to the Board that Mr. research easterly garden, even at this age now past the age of 60, even for care of plants, under the guidance has always deep in the opinion. For Mr. I, is very fun to learn world Niimi.

From becoming the age of 20, have a picture of "garden" made your own, I went to the business. Weekdays Monday through Friday. Garden work, we have to go Saturday and Sunday mainly. Only 25 years old, was carried out every night and practice of the "flower arrangement, tea ceremony". I was born in Gunma Prefecture, until junior high school, so I lived in the countryside, when small, were playing around at the mountains and rivers. It seems to be climbing on the rock, such as when to take Iwamatsu, and went down or not, there was a moment. Maybe it can be thought by feel in the body, nature and trees grass-moss that is attached to the rock face at that time, such as such as stone, healing "mind", "beauty space" for the garden.

At present, the idea of ​​my own way, as much as possible, for the garden, feel the beauty by see also "garden" can manage to enjoy, use and enjoy the sense of seasonal flowers such as azaleas, Satsuki, especially many, we are available. We thought his own garden and I, An attempt has been made as a private garden center, hope to be able to make reference to "garden" of how everyone.
