- Dream Window: Reflections on the Japanese Garden
E1Dream Window: Reflections on the Japanese GardenA journey through some of the most beautiful gardens in the world, revealing the secrets of both classical and contemporary Japanese gardens. Experiencing a Japanese garden is a journey towards better understanding of the Japanese people. Filmed on location in Japan, the program reveals the secrets of both traditional and contemporary Japanese gardens including those of the legendary Moss Temple of Saiho-ji, Katsura Imperial Villa, Tenryu-ji, the Ken Domon Museum of Photography, and Sogetsu Hall. For the film's producers, an intimate look at the gardens provided an unusual opportunity to shed new light on Japanese culture. To truly experience the Japanese garden, the production team decided to organize the film much like the gardens themselves--natural in appearance and flow, yet completely controlled.
