The Samurai's Garden by Gail Tsukiyama

Isolation is depressing and hopeless, just like walking a barren street in a collapsing ghost town. However, in order to show that life can really exist anywhere, all of these must be like flower buds. This is similar to Steven's journey at Samurai Garden. This novel is about a sick Chinese boy named Stephen who moved to a Japanese village during the Japan - China War to recover from the disease. By building connections with several locals and hearing their stories, he soon became a young adult.

In an ideal world, all son-in-law relationships are like love and unity as shown in "Beaver" comedy. Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world. Even Samurai Garden written by Gail Tsukiyama is a fictitious story that solves real human relations problems. These are questions that everyone can reach, such as nonverbal fathers who do not express feelings. However, the relationship the son searches with their father is often born with others. This is just due to Stephen TB, what happened when Stephen spent a pleasant time in Japan in Japan. Stephen discovered the difference in personality between his father and Mazu and the realization of a beautiful connection with him and Mazu slowly growing up.

In Kyoto, I heard about a famous tea master. Since the dominant warrior heard that the owner's garden is full of beautiful flowers in full bloom, he sent a letter saying he is planning to visit tea. The garden was naked when he arrived. The owner cut all the flowers in the morning and put flowers in the vase before the scroll in the tea room. I imagined dissatisfaction and anger that Samurai must have felt, but the tour guide tells us that the intention of the owner is to fully understand the beauty of one person by the samurai. I feel that the blanket of the whole flower sea is impossible

In 1702, Japanese warrior Yoshiyasu Yanagisawa of the Edo period (1603-1868) founded Rikugien. He served Tokugawa Tsunayoshi of Tokugawa Chagan, his favorite. The general officer gave the ruins that became the basis of the garden. It is intended to reflect part of traditional Japanese poetry which is a poem in Japanese classical literature. "Rokiyuen" is a system that classifies Chinese poetry into six categories. This system also influenced the division of Waka poems. The number 6 is usually "roku", but in the case of the garden name it is pronounced as "riku". This is consistent with the pronunciation of Chinese words.
