It is important to work from the customer's point of view and compassion for unspeakable trees.
"The most important thing in working is not to lie from the customer's point of view," says Kinoshita, who uses artificial bamboo fences that are stronger than natural materials and less burden of maintenance. We always incorporate new methods tailored to the times while always taking care of traditional skills and materials, such as making them in the same way as natural materials and proposing barrier-free gardens in anticipation of the future.
Regarding pruning, he says, "I want many people to know the correct way to minimize the burden on trees based on CODIT theory, while taking advantage of the tradition of landscaping."
In addition to landscaping technology workshops such as extension steps, masonry, and lighting at the Kanagawa Landscaping Association, we also conduct pruning courses for the general public. In addition, we actively send out our own pruning and landscaping work processes on YouTube and SNS.
Meister's skill
"S", a Japanese landscaping technique unique to Japan, in which a bottle is buried underground in a squatting in a Japanese garden or under a hand basin, and the fallen water droplets echo into a cavity to produce sound. Has valuable skills, such as developing a system that does not accumulate mud at the bottom of a bottle.
In addition, YouTube, which introduces the work process and pruning technology of one's own landscaping in videos, has received high praise not only from the general public but also from peers, and questions from many registrants etc. I am answering carefully.
Profile
After graduating from university, he explored the way to a musician, and worked for four years at a gardening company in a gardening company and a town.
After that, he served as Representative Director of Kinoshita Garden Management Co., Ltd. (from 1989 to 2021) and continues to the present.
