    Born in Shiga Prefecture in 1944 to a father who tended to his garden and remodeled it during the agricultural off-season, our company’s founder joined the famed garden master Saichi Kojima’s apprenticeship in Kyoto at the age of 16. In 1965, he established Terashita Zoen. Embracing and training young, motivated gardeners, he still holds monthly or bi-monthly stonework lessons for landscape technicians nationwide. In 2011, he was recognized as a “Prominent Craftsmen (Great Craftsmen in the Present World)“.
