Outside the Civilised world, especially in this urban Japan, it is difficult to find a place that inspires calm and tranquillity. A garden where the senses can once again achieve peace, where you can be lulled by the gushing of crystal-clear water from a pond or the rustling of the foliage of a mature Cherry tree. Lingering one's gaze on some Koi Carp swimming sinuously or on the soft light of some small oriental temple.

I am fantasising too much, I am aware of it. I'd better get back to work on these oppressive office tasks, suffocating within these chaotic walls.
