Timeline

1953

Shunmyō Masuno (枡野 俊明) (born 28 February 1953) is a Japanese monk and garden designer.

He is chief priest of the Sōtō Zen temple Kenkō-ji (建功寺), professor at Tama Art University, and president of a design firm that has completed numerous projects in Japan and overseas.

He has been called "Japan's leading garden designer".

After graduating in 1975 from the Faculty of Agriculture of Tamagawa University he continued an apprenticeship in garden design under Katsuo Saitō, who had designed the garden at his father's temple.

1979

From 1979 he underwent Zen training at Sōji-ji, one of the two head temples of the Sōtō school.

Through his firm, he has designed dozens of gardens throughout Japan and around the world.

They include traditional designs such as the Japanese garden at Berlin's Erholungspark Marzahn park as well as strikingly contemporary designs such as the karesansui garden at the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo.

When designing a garden, Masuno first meditates and establishes a dialog with the space.

This requires an emptying of the self in order to "hear" the elements of the garden speak.

In discussions with the philosopher Koji Tanaka, he explained his perspective on the ethics of gardening, saying that gardening brings about a gentleness in the designer, builder, and caretakers.

The garden teaches the suchness or intrinsic value of each thing, the connectedness, harmony, tranquility, and sacredness of the everyday.

Developing a sense of respect for all things is no small step in becoming an ethical human being, both with respect to other humans and the environment at large.
