Look Through the Heart Teahouse”
ShinKanAn Teahouse – The “Look Through the Heart Teahouse” 1. Introduction: History and Name • Our Teahouse in unique on the Central Coast. It is a traditional structure, using mostly Japanese joinery instead of nails, traditional tatami mats and hand-made paper sliding doors. Additionally, it is perhaps the only traditional Japanese Teahouse between the Greater Los Angeles area and the San Francisco peninsula, and the only one in California using California natives in an intentional Japanese style. • It was originally built in Kyoto during the postwar period: a wooden plaque on the wall near the entry doors commemorates the architect and the date: 1949. The Teahouse was a gift from the President of the Nippon Oil Company to a local resident, Mr. H. Royce Greatwood, as an expression of appreciation for his assistance after the war. It was shipped in wooden boxes, each piece numbered, and reassembled in Mr. Greatwood’s Hope Ranch lemon orchard in the early 1950’s. This teahouse is evidence of the tremendous efforts that were made to renew the ties of friendship between former wartime adversaries. • The rich cultural tradition of Cha-do, The Way of Tea, graces this teahouse. In 2000, it was given the name ShinKanAn , meaning “Look Through the Heart” by the 15th Grandmaster of the Urasenke Tea school, an unusual event. • The name was generously given in honor of Heartie Anne Look, a teacher of flower arrangement and Japanese culture for many years in the Santa Barbara community. This teahouse is being used and maintained in a manner authentic to the tradition of Cha-do. -

However, beyond the reduction of 26 carbon dioxide emissions, we should pay more attention to the biodiversity 27 that has been the basis of this sustainable city celebrating ecosystem 28 services. To obtain an ecosystem-dependent design solution, biodiversity is 29 an essential natural capital that must be reassessed from the viewpoint of 30 smart adaptation to climate change. The “21st Century Environment Nation 31 Strategy” (Japanese Government 2007), in which I was involved in the 32 discussions, was the official statement of the Japanese government pointing 33 out the importance of comprehensive measures to integrate the three aspects 34 of a sustainable society: a Low Carbon Society, a Sound Material-Cycle 35 Society and a Society in Harmony with Nature. -
“The China of Santa Cruz”: the Culture of Tea in Maria Graham's
“The China of Santa Cruz”: The Culture of Tea in Maria Graham’s Journal of a Voyage to Brazil (Article) NICOLLE JORDAN University of Southern Mississippi he notion of Brazilian tea may sound like something of an anomaly—or impossibility—given the predominance of Brazilian coffee in our cultural T imagination. We may be surprised, then, to learn that King João VI of Portugal and Brazil (1767–1826) pursued a project for the importation, acclimatization, and planting of tea from China in his royal botanic garden in Rio de Janeiro. A curious episode in the annals of colonial botany, the cultivation of a tea plantation in Rio has a short but significant history, especially when read through the lens of Maria Graham’s Journal of a Voyage to Brazil (1824). Graham’s descriptions of the tea garden in this text are brief, but they amplify her thorough-going enthusiasm for the biodiversity and botanical innovation she encountered— and contributed to—in South America. Such enthusiasm for the imperial tea garden echoes Graham’s support for Brazilian independence, and indeed, bolsters it. In 1821 Graham came to Brazil aboard HMS Doris, captained by her husband Thomas, who was charged with protecting Britain’s considerable mercantile interests in the region. As a British naval captain’s wife, she was obliged to uphold Britain’s official policy of strict neutrality. Despite these circumstances, her Journal conveys a pro-independence stance that is legible in her frequent rhapsodies over Brazil’s stunning flora and fauna. By situating Rio’s tea plantation within the global context of imperial botany, we may appreciate Graham’s testimony to a practice of transnational plant exchange that effectively makes her an agent of empire even in a locale where Britain had no territorial aspirations. -
Growing an Herbal Tea Garden
Growing an Herbal Tea Garden By Lynn Heagney March 1, 2019 Teas if you please Growing an herbal tea garden is fun and rewarding. It involves selecting the site for your garden, deciding which herbs you’d like to grow, choosing a design, then planting, harvesting, and using the herbs you’ve grown in delicious teas. When you’re finished, not only will you have a wonderful source for all of your favorite teas, but you’ll also have a place that attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. Your first major decision is deciding where you’d like to locate your garden. Be sure to pick a site that has lots of sun, at least 4-6 hours per day because most herbs like sunny locations. Also, pick an area that drains well. Only mint likes “wet feet;” the rest prefer drier areas. If your only option is a damp area, you might consider planting your herbs in a raised bed, or in containers. It’s also nice if you can find a site that’s relatively close to your house so you can have fast and easy access to fresh herbs. Now you’re ready to choose which herbs you’d like to include in your garden. You can decide to establish a site exclusively for herbs used only in teas, or you can combine those with culinary herbs. You can also mix both types of herbs with a variety of flowers. If you’d like see how these combinations might work, plan a visit to the Discovery Gardens in Mount Vernon, where the Herb Garden and Cottage Garden provide inspiring examples of these strategies. -
园冶》(1634)理论与17世纪日本造园艺术实践(中文) (引言―英语) BORROWING the LANDSCAPE Theory in China's Yuanye (1634) and Practice in Japanese Garden Art of the Seventeenth Century
借景‐中国《园冶》(1634)理论与17世纪日本造园艺术实践(中文) (引言―英语) BORROWING THE LANDSCAPE Theory in China's Yuanye (1634) and Practice in Japanese garden art of the seventeenth century -Abstract- In Far Eastern landscape design a typical technique to incorporate a distant view outside the garden, as part of the garden design is called Borrowed Scenery. Borrowed Scenery has become known to the world in English with its Japanese name shakkei and many old Japanese gardens with a landscape scene as background, are thought to have been designed on purpose as a shakkei garden. But shakkei is for the first time in Japan’s history a purpose of design in some gardens of the 17th century. Shortly before these gardens were made, the garden book Yuanye appeared in China that writes in much detail about the meaning and technique of borrowed scenery, using the same word shakkei, pronounced jiejing in modern Chinese. It can be no coincidence that practice and theory appeared almost at the same time. In similar ways, in China as well as in Japan, the well-educated elite wanted to understand the natural world - and man’s creative energy to improve it. Yuanye was written by Ji Cheng, who was fully aware of the workings of landscape design, not in the least because his context was a society that was much interested in natural landscape and in building gardens in it. Yuanye holds therefore profound teachings about human understanding of landscape – and jiejing, borrowing landscape, is the term with which Ji Cheng chose to explain his uppermost level of understanding landscape design. -
A Dimensional Comparison Between Classical Chinese Gardens And
Yiwen Xu, Jon Bryan Burley, WSEAS TRANSACTIONS on ENVIRONMENT and DEVELOPMENT Patricia Machemer, April Allen A Dimensional Comparison between Classical Chinese Gardens and Modern Chinese Gardens YIWEN XU, JON BRYAN BURLEY, PATRICIA MACHEMER, AND APRIL ALLEN School of Planning, Design and Construction Michigan State University 552 West Circle Drive, 302 B Human Ecology Building, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA [email protected] http:/www.msu.edu/%7Eburleyj/ Abstract: Garden designers and scholars are interested in metrics that define the differences and similarities between traditional design and modern designs. This investigation examines the similarities and differences of classical Chinese gardens and modern Chinese gardens. The comparison is accomplished by ordinating the design elements and basic normative planning and design principles for each garden. Three classical Chinese gardens in Suzhou, Jiangsu, China and five modern gardens in Xiamen, Fujian, China were selected for study. A mathematical method called Principal Component Analysis (PCS) was applied in this research. The objective of this method is to define the dimensions that characterize the gardens and plot these gardens along the dimensions/gradients. Seventy-five variables were selected from a literature review, site visits, and site photos. According to the results of the PCA, there are potentially seven meaningful dimensions suitable for analysis, which explain 100% of the variance. This research focused on studying the first three principal components, explaining 81.54% of the variance. The first two principal components reveal a clear pattern between the two sets of environments. The results indicate that the first principal component can be a way to identify the difference between classical Chinese gardens and modern Chinese gardens. -

Teahouse N I T O
n i northwest:scale 1/8" t o b teahouse ea.r.thomson 2002 southeast:scale 1/8" N The Japanese Teahouse : Ritual and Form Buddhism had branched after about 600bc, into several distinct teachings. Of these, A Paper for M.Cohen’s Seminar on Architectural Proportion Mahayana (meaning 'big raft') Buddhism worked its way to Tibet, Mongolia, China, Korea May 2002, UBC | SoA and Japan. Of these five regional variations is the 'intuitive' school of Mayahana - or Zen. Submitted by a.r.thomson Zen (strictly literally!) means, 'meditation that leads to insight'. In order to make some sense of the Teahouse design, and more specifically its mode of Mahakasyapa, apparently, was the only acolyte present at The Flower Sermon, who proportioning, scale and materiality, it is necessary to understand something of the context understood. The Flower Sermon, it is said, was one where, "Standing on a mountain with his out of which the ‘Culture of Tea’, aka. ’Teaism’ first developed. This paper will attempt to disciples around him, Buddha did not on this occasion resort to words. He simply held aloft distill some sense of this ambient culture, and then relate the aesthetic of Zen, to the a golden lotus." (H.Smith, pg 134) components of the Teahouse proper, and finally, conclude with an examination of the proportions used in the Teahouse design. UBC’s Nitobe Teahouse was the primary resource Mahakasyapa was declared the Buddha's successor. 28 patriarchs later, in 520ad, studied, which is unique in that it is a ‘traditional’ structure on foreign soil, and thus Bodhidharma introduced the teaching of Zen to Japan. -
A Study on the Method of Using Topographic Formations in the Landscape Design of Japanese Gardens in Hilly Terrains
1st WSEAS International Conference on LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE (LA '08), Algarve, Portugal, June 11-13, 2008 A Study on the Method of Using Topographic Formations in the Landscape Design of Japanese Gardens in Hilly Terrains KEITA YAMAGUCHI, ISAO NAKAJIMA, MASASHI KAWASAKI Urban and Environmental Engineering Kyoto University Rm208, C1-1, Kyoto-Daigaku Katsura, Nishikyo-ku, Kyoto, 615-8540 JAPAN http://lepl.uee.kyoto-u.ac.jp/index.html Abstract: - In modern cities, people generally have the desire to strike a proper balance between man and nature. This paper aims to discuss the method of using topographic formations in landscape design, particularly focusing on three topographic functions: enclosure forming, viewpoint settings, and view settings. We selected Japanese gardens as case studies and adopted a three-layer model to classify a landscape design based on topographic functions, site planning, and architectural planning. In Jyojyu-in, the unique topographic condition is utilized to form an enclosed space and to realize both a deep mountain view and a prospect view. In Jisho-ji, the unique topographic condition is utilized to form an enclosed space and construct three different views. Key-Words: - Topographic formation, Japanese garden, Enclosure, View setting, Viewpoint setting, Kyoto 1 Introduction N In modern cities, people generally have the desire to strike the proper balance between man and the natural environment through the means of landscape planning or design. In many traditional Japanese gardens, it is possible to be in close proximity with the natural 0 5 10km landscape, even though the garden is located very close to the city. Previous garden designers seem to Fig.1 The Location of have succeeded in properly utilizing the topographic gardens in Kyoto city conditions of their surroundings to create natural scenery on a large scale. -
San Francisco Japanese Tea Garden by Mary Yee
RAP GARDENSC IN FOCUS Explore Sites That Participate in the AHS Reciprocal Admissions Program San Francisco Japanese Tea Garden by Mary Yee ESTLED IN Golden Gate Park, the San Francisco Jap- Nanese Tea Garden is a little world unto its own, although it’s hardly a secret. One of the country’s oldest pub- lic Japanese gardens, it’s been around for over 125 years and is a popular des- tination for locals and tourists. Stone lanterns, pagodas, cherry trees, bonsai and much more are packed into about 5 acres of undulating terrain. A waterfall tumbles down a rocky hillside to a large pond filled with colorful koi. In the dry garden, or karasansui, raked gravel serves as a metaphor for water. Madison Sink, communications as- sociate for the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, which oversees the garden, explains a proper Japanese “tea garden is a small, intimate space attached to a tea house where tea ceremonies are hosted.” She says, “Our garden is a stroll Above: This collection of dwarf shrubs on a garden designed for walking through that hillside adjacent to the Temple Gate once often includes hills and ponds.
