An Alcove (Tokonoma) Garden
This garden represents an alcove within a traditional Japanese tatami room, decorated with a hanging scroll and flowers to delight and enchant.
It is part of Japanese culture to speak with important people in such spaces, and this concept forms a key part of the garden; visitors can let their hearts speak out whilst enjoying the scenery and seasonal references in the design. Kazuyuki Ishihara would like all Chelsea show visitors to enjoy this aspect of the ancient Japanese culture of communication.
This garden has been created in association with supporters Cats and Ishihara Kazuyaki Design Laboratory.
