In our journey to build Eisei-en Kyoto Bonsai Garden, there are many fascinating experiences along the way, including participating in "jichinsai" or the Shinto ritualistic blessing of the land prior to construction. In this episode, we take a behind-the-scenes look at this ceremony, as well as the process of selecting a chozubachi (hand-washing basin) for the garden.
