Notes About The Poem

An enormous water feature in a Japanese garden filled with bold Japanese maple trees, flowering bushes, and thick grasses. A stone lantern and a stone statue of an egret can be seen in the background. The pond itself is populated by many large koi fish.

- I Love the Feeling and the Way It Smells -

Walk through a beautiful garden undoubtedly gives you a special feeling
It's about scent, nectar and an ideal place for relaxation
Every summer, the garden welcomes you with beautiful flowers and butterflies
The jewel is a small pond with colorful fish and plants that are an eye-catcher
The pond is designed as a ring, it symbolizes eternity
