It really amazes me that a garden of such beauty and peace was built and so many people don't know about it. I feel the same way you do about the way the garden conveys peace and realaxation to me. It soothes the soul and makes many people very happy. I think is what Taniguchi wanted--don't you? You did a great job of explaining just what you say...nice work. PS--sorry we got lost on Sunday ! :)
