こんにちは、
お久しぶりです！
Ｒｅａｌ Ｊａｐａｎｅｓｅ Ｇａｒｄｅｎｓ のイエニーといいます。
一月に東京からサンフランシスコへ引っ越しました。
サンフランシスコはとても住み易いだと思いますが、大好きな日本から離れてのはとても寂しかったです。
今は大分アメリカン・ライフスタイルになりましたが、和食、日本庭園等が恋しくなりました。
このため、五月下旬に二週間再来日しました。
Sorry, my Japanese has certainly not improved in the last couple of months, so I have to continue in
English.
(What happened so far: I left Japan in January to move to San Francisco. Although SF is a really nice place to live, I was very sad to be far away from my beloved Japan. Now, I got used to "The American Lifestyle", but I still miss Japanese things like traditional Japanese food and, of course, Japanese gardens. That is also the reason why I returned to Tokyo and Kyoto for two weeks end of May)
The first day I visited of course Hayano-san and all the guys from the Niwashyu Garden Design Studio in Yoyogi. It was so good to meet everyone again - it felt like no time has past at all! We went for lunch in one of my favorite restaurants in Yoyogi - Takase (高瀬 - Takase link). They have exceptionally good lunch sets!
Hayano-san also had the Real Japanese Garden business cards and post cards printed, which I would take along to my trip to Kyoto. One side is in English (Jenny Feuerpeil), the other one has my name in Japanese on it (伊恵弐・フォイヤーパイル)
I spent the next week in Kyoto - visiting a great number of beautiful temples and meeting awesome people. I stayed at a couchsurfing host - Minoru Yonekawa - who has a very unique Ramen restaurant. It is called Mamezen (豆禅) and can best be described as gentle "Kyoto-style Dashi Soymilk Ramen" 豆乳らーめん. （Tabeblog , Kyoto Foodie）. The Ramen come with nama yuba and taste like heaven!
I will write more about my Kyoto adventures and the gardens visited (Shisen-do, Manshu-in Monseki, a secret tea garden with a Noh stage in Higashiyama, Chion-in, Entsu-ji, Koto-in, Korin-in and many more) in future blog posts, but for now, I would like to return with you to Tokyo, where I spent my last night of the trip on the PechaKucha stage - again! When I first came to Japan, I wanted to learn more about Japanese (Garden) Design. While I am sure that my journey is nowhere near the end, I wanted to seize the opportunity and summarize what I had learned so far as a garden designer in a 6 minute 40 second presentation.
You can watch this and my previous presentation online on the PechaKucha platform here: 7 Design Lessons from the Japanese Garden
Some impressions from the Pecha Kucha night:
It was a very fun night, a great trip and I was happy to see Hayano-san, Suda-san, Yoshino-san again and meet the new staff member Kamei-san as well.
Hope to see you soon again,
またよろしくお願いします。
