Noda,
When a man sits down in front of a garden, or
strolls around in it, he steeps himself in delight. Because the garden is a
paradise where a garden owner and a landscape gardener share the same dream
in their common culture. Man first made a garden to try to produce a
paradise in this world. The garden seems to be a paradise of the other world
somewhere out of sight.
