Around the Corner

Oribe Guide Post, Tetsu Bachi Basin, & Kakehi Water Spout
Heatherwood Japanese Garden

A couple of days ago I posted an image of a garden path and asked, “What is beyond?” Taking a few steps down the path, I look to my left and see a set of Japanese stone sculptures peeking out behind a Japanese maple. The Oribe guide post directs me to a little side path while the Kakehi water spout and Tetsu Bachi welcomes me. The sound of rushing water gets louder. The water spout and basin is only a trickle. What is beyond?

Heatherwood Japanese Garden Stroll #7

“Left to the Pond – Right to Continue”

After catching a glimpse of the water, our stroller continues down the curving path to come to a second division. The rushing water and the waiting Adirondack chairs pulls him/her to the left. The Oribe guide post, Tetsu Bachi basin, and Kakehi water spout draw the guest in to prepare for a relaxing pause.

As time passes and the young trees mature, they will enclose this sitting area and make it more private. But for now, it is pretty much wide open and provides a wide angle view of the Japanese Garden’s star attraction.
