It is important to work from the customer's point of view and compassion for a tree that does not speak.

Kinoshita says, "The most important thing in working is to work from the customer's point of view and not lie," says Kinoshita, an artificial material that is stronger than natural materials and less burden on maintenance. We always work on our customers with familiarizing ourselves with traditional skills and materials, such as making them in a manner similar to natural materials, and proposing barrier-free gardens in anticipation of the future.

Regarding pruning, he says, "I want many people to know the correct cutting method to minimize the burden on trees based on" CODIT theory, while taking advantage of the landscaping tradition."

In addition to landscaping technology workshops such as extensions, masonry, and lighting at the Kanagawa Landscaping Industry Association, we also conduct pruning courses for the general public. In addition, we actively disseminate our own pruning work and landscaping work processes on YouTube and SNS.
