00:00:18Thank you for watching.
00:00:32Today, we'll be looking at things that are everywhere around us.
00:00:35But it's a story about something important.
00:00:40Look, here too.
00:00:42Harajuku, Tokyo
00:00:44A garden on top of a building with a bold cutout in the wall.
00:00:50A relaxing space surrounded by lush greenery.
00:00:54You can also enjoy breathtaking panoramas.
00:01:00Here are people who deeply love gardens.
00:01:04On the balcony of the top floor of the apartment building
00:01:06We created a 70 square meter garden, which is larger than the room.
00:01:15My favorite is rose
00:01:25What should I grow this year?
00:01:28This is a plant market held annually in Asakusa.
00:01:32Adding vibrant colors to a small garden
00:01:45Stylish women also frequented the plant markets in Edo.
00:01:49Samurai and townspeople alike created gardens of all sizes.
00:01:52I was growing plants.
00:02:03Looking up at the high-rise apartment building
00:02:05The old row houses are still holding on.
00:02:09Tsukuda, Chuo Ward
00:02:12What blooms in the garden under the eaves
00:02:14Approximately 60 years ago
00:02:16These wisteria flowers were planted by my late mother.
00:02:38A magnificent and luxurious garden
00:02:41A small garden in an alley
00:02:45Healing, encouraging, and surprising people
00:02:49This is a story about gardens in Tokyo.
00:03:03This place might protect Tokyo's garden in the future.
00:03:07A place where young people gather
00:03:11Setagaya Ward Metropolitan Horticultural High School
00:03:15The school was founded in 1908 (Meiji 41).
00:03:17This is the first horticultural high school in Japan.
00:03:33The horticulture department has 70 students per grade.
00:03:36Cultivation of plants and vegetables
00:03:38You will specialize in learning landscape gardening techniques and other related skills.
00:03:43In preparation for the national landscape gardening skills certification exam held in the summer
00:03:49A practical training session was being held.
00:03:54Bamboo fence, paving stones, and planted trees
00:03:58Within a limited time
00:03:59Completely, beautifully, and according to the blueprints.
00:04:02This tests whether the product is made to make the most of the natural materials.
00:04:18I think it's really cool to see it coming back down from the mountain a little.
00:04:22This is what we aim for
00:04:24To become a skilled worker, there's also a written exam.
00:04:26In that case...
00:04:28I agree
00:04:28I'm going to study.
00:04:30This garden is nice, isn't it?
00:04:32This is a wire barrier, isn't it?
00:04:35This garden is designed for strolling, isn't it?
00:04:37In such places
00:04:38I enjoy this process of creating something.
00:04:42This is a Japanese garden that has been continuously created by successive generations of students.
00:04:48This garden will continue to grow.
00:04:53The width is fixed to a small amount
00:04:56Back in the day, people wearing kimonos used to walk around in Japanese gardens.
00:04:59There's a rule that it has to be 30 centimeters.
00:05:02It is positioned horizontally to make it easier to walk horizontally.
00:05:05I made all the paths.
00:05:11Creating a Japanese garden is pretty cool, isn't it?
00:05:14It's so cool, right?
00:05:15The excitement just wins out, doesn't it?
00:05:20Among the graduates of the horticultural high school
00:05:22There is a person who protects a vast garden in the heart of Tokyo.
00:05:36The sheer scale of it is truly overwhelming.
00:05:39Some kind of historical place
00:05:42It's amazing that it still exists like this today.
00:05:45I was completely blown away.
00:05:51Graduated from horticultural high school in 1998.
00:05:54Yuji Sugano, who got a job in Miyauchi Town
00:05:58It begins in the area where rice planting takes place around the Imperial Palace.
00:06:02Maintaining Akasaka Gyoen, Hayama Goyotei, Fukiage Gyoen, etc.
00:06:07It's here
00:06:09This is my second time working at Higashi Gyoen.
00:06:13Higashi Gyoen, completed in 1968,
00:06:16The land was originally used for subsequent residences, etc.
00:06:21This is the only garden within the Imperial Palace grounds that is open to the public year-round.
00:06:28Area: 21 hectares
00:06:30Plants donated from all over the country are planted here.
00:06:35Ms. Kanno first took on the role when she was 21 years old.
00:07:04The first thing I learned from my senior was
00:07:07The cut ends of the branches and the remnants of the spent flowers
00:07:10Maintain the area out of sight of visitors.
00:07:16It is to make the garden look beautiful.
00:07:24Every day, Ms. Kanno and five other staff members
00:07:27From 8:30 AM to just after 5:00 PM
00:07:31I will go around and check on the condition of the plants.
00:07:35Quiet maintenance that does not disturb visitors
00:07:38On the opening day
00:07:39The large-scale work of installing the machinery will be carried out on the day of the rescue.
00:07:46Rather than creating a new garden
00:07:49What our predecessors have passed down to us
00:07:52How will I also connect with them?
00:07:54The question is, how do we move on to the next step?
00:07:55I suppose it's my role.
00:07:57There are lots of trees
00:08:00Even the same tree
00:08:02It varies greatly depending on the location and environment.
00:08:05There are various ways to do it.
00:08:08Even if it works well that year, the same approach will likely be repeated the following year.
00:08:12There were times when we had to change things.
00:08:15This is where they cultivate endangered varieties.
00:08:18Old fruit tree garden
00:08:21It was created in 2008 at the suggestion of the Emperor Emeritus.
00:08:40It was cultivated for food and medicinal purposes during the Edo period.
00:08:45Rare species, nocturnal
00:08:47It was preserved at an agricultural research institute managed by the government.
00:08:52Here are other options as well
00:08:54Five types including pears, citrus fruits, apples, and persimmons.
00:08:59We grow 22 varieties.
00:09:02Is this one branch counting?
00:09:05A typical orchard
00:09:06They drop many fruits to improve the taste,
00:09:09Here, we maintain a form that is as close to nature as possible.
00:09:14Supporting people's lives
00:09:16The trees that have finished fulfilling their duty
00:09:18A garden to pass on to the future
00:09:23Some of the materials have hardened.
00:09:28That's the feel of the touch, the touch of the fingers
00:09:30If it continues to burn like this
00:09:32Branches that look like they might split
00:09:35I want to switch to scissors.
00:09:37I'm trying it out by feel.
00:09:43Not just the results of what we're doing now
00:09:46Imagine what comes after that.
00:09:49We need to do it.
00:10:06If it's nature, then be natural
00:10:08While inheriting what has come before
00:10:11The rest is just mundane work.
00:10:14"If you do this, look, this is what happens."
00:10:16It's quite difficult to put into words.
00:10:19If you keep watching for a while
00:10:21What I really think is that things have changed.
00:10:23I might understand,
00:10:25What has changed?
00:10:27Actually, that might have been a successful maintenance job.
00:10:31Don't make it too flashy
00:10:37Uninterrupted today as well
00:10:40Quiet activities continue.
00:10:46In Tokyo's representative gardens
00:10:48Shoguns of the Edo period
00:10:50There are several people with connections to the feudal lords.
00:10:54This is one of the most exceptional gardens.
00:11:09Located in Komagome, Bunkyo Ward
00:11:11This is Lu Yi Garden.
00:11:13Area: 9 hectares
00:11:17While strolling around the pond known as the Great Diving
00:11:21Enjoy seasonal flowers and plants
00:11:23It is a strolling garden.
00:11:27Genroku period
00:11:29Shogun Tsunayoshi
00:11:30The land was given to the soba grower, Yoshiyasu Yanagisawa.
00:11:34Yoshiyasu designed it himself.
00:11:39It took seven years to build the mountain and bring in water.
00:11:44Poems written in the Manyoshu and Kokin Wakashu
00:11:47It depicts 88 scenes.
00:11:54Edo period
00:11:55It became a huge hit among ordinary people.
00:11:57Tsutsuko
00:12:00Created by a gardener
00:12:01Many new varieties were gathered.
00:12:06This garden, which was built with taxpayer money, was opened to the public for the first time.
00:12:10Showa 13 (1938)
00:12:12They were playing in this playground as if it were their own little garden.
00:12:21Etsuko Morita
00:12:23It seems to have a scent.
00:12:26I have lived in Komagome since I was 3 years old.
00:12:29I have grown fond of this garden.
00:12:35Back then, local children were free to run around.
00:12:39Yes
00:12:44Here, you go barefoot into the water.
00:12:49They were splashing around and playing.
00:12:52I think it was truly a time of freedom.
00:13:04When I was little
00:13:06I have a photo of myself climbing a pine tree.
00:13:09Maybe this was it?
00:13:13The branches somehow look like they would be easy for children to climb.
00:13:19That's the feeling I get.
00:13:29After getting married
00:13:31I left Japan because of my husband's job.
00:13:34I've lived in places like the United States and France.
00:13:40I returned to Japan after living abroad for 26 years.
00:13:46Here we have
00:13:49The view from around here is...
00:13:53I started living in Komagome again.
00:13:56I've been a volunteer guide at the Athletics Park for 15 years.
00:14:04The bridge you see in front of you is Togetsu Bridge.
00:14:08It looks like two large stones joined together.
00:14:11When autumn leaves come into season...
00:14:14The sumac tree and the maple tree overlapped.
00:14:17This is truly one of the must-see spots.
00:14:24Based on waka poems written during the Kamakura period
00:14:28Togetsu Bridge
00:14:34The hidden side of waka poetry
00:14:36To the sound of the taz chirping at my feet
00:14:39The moon's shadow at night is lonely.
00:14:46The moonlight reflected on the water's surface
00:14:49Crossing the sea throughout the night
00:14:53loneliness
00:14:54Melancholy
00:15:10This is a pine tree that blows up.
00:15:13The pine forest of Fukiagehama, Wakayama Prefecture, which appears in the Kokin Wakashū (Collection of Ancient and Modern Japanese Poems)
00:15:18It was named after
00:15:25Only the chosen ones
00:15:28The Rikugien (Athletic Sports Park) was a place where you could enjoy the names of all over Japan, including the rice fields.
00:15:36Ms. Morita, on her way to do some shopping,
00:15:38I ask it almost every day.
00:15:41Small joys I discovered while walking alone
00:15:46There are lots of white claw grasses, though.
00:15:50Oh, this is cute
00:15:51This is cute too.
00:15:53So cute
00:15:55purple flowers
00:15:56This is probably
00:15:57I think it's a flower called Niwaseki-sho.
00:16:03It's like they won't find it
00:16:05I like finding things like that.
00:16:12Season by season
00:16:13They say there are still new encounters to come.
00:16:18You can only enjoy them if you come when they're in bloom.
00:16:25Let's meet again next year, or something like that.
00:16:31It ended up like that.
00:16:34I find it enjoyable to watch the year go by.
00:16:44The best view at the Athletics Park, from Fujishiro Pass
00:16:50The green will become even more lush in the future.
00:16:53It's a season when everyone shines.
00:17:05A town floating at the mouth of the Sumida River
00:17:08This is Tsukuda in Chuo Ward.
00:17:26Sachiko Ito was born in Nara Prefecture.
00:17:30I've been living in Tsukuda for 50 years now.
00:17:40If you press it 10 times...
00:17:41It's almost full now.
00:17:47I was young until very recently
00:17:57My day always begins with tending to this garden under the eaves.
00:18:08My father and my younger brother both liked this kind of thing.
00:18:15I love flowers so much
00:18:16It's boring without flowers, isn't it?
00:18:22Tsukuda survived the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Tokyo air raids.
00:18:26We did not suffer any major damage.
00:18:33In various places in the preserved alleyways
00:18:37Garden under the eaves
00:18:41Behave nicely and don't spill out into other areas.
00:18:51This was nearly 70 years ago.
00:18:53Footage from 1959 (Showa 34)
00:18:58My relationship with flowers and greenery remains unchanged to this day.
00:19:11Sachiko's house
00:19:18My husband, Masanori
00:19:20Born and raised in a place
00:19:22This house
00:19:24It's a typical house.
00:19:26102 years
00:19:27102 years?
00:19:28amazing
00:19:29It was supposed to last another 200 years.
00:19:31So even this toilet
00:19:33It's exactly as it was when it was built.
00:19:35That's a modal.
00:19:37Look, we've been heading there all this time.
00:19:42It was a donburi restaurant in Nihonbashi.
00:19:52Originally, tsukuda was made by Tokugawa Ieyasu, who founded the Edo Shogunate.
00:19:57It all started when they brought in skilled fishermen from Osaka.
00:20:04Those 33 fishermen
00:20:07Reclaiming the tidal flats
00:20:09I created Tsukuda Island.
00:20:18Masanori unfolded a map of tsukudani (a type of Japanese confectionery) from the Edo period.
00:20:23According to tradition
00:20:25So it's around here then.
00:20:27So your ancestors lived there
00:20:29Yeah
00:20:32The Tsukuda district is almost exactly as shown on this small map.
00:20:38From the fishing town, eventually to the town of tsukudani (fermented seafood).
00:20:43A shipyard was built on the neighboring Ishikawajima.
00:20:45There were times when the economy was good,
00:20:47Now, the site is lined with high-rise apartment buildings.
00:20:54Some things remain unchanged
00:20:57The reason why the house has a garden surrounding it is
00:21:00Miyako Igari, 89 years old
00:21:03She spent her girlhood in the lush green prefecture of Toyama.
00:21:07I still have a memory of that person in my heart.
00:21:10Hello
00:21:10It's beautiful.
00:21:12There are lots of plants
00:21:14Well, it's nothing special.
00:21:19Buy and increase, buy and increase
00:21:22I thought to myself, "I can't take any more than this."
00:21:25They say they just can't help but increase the amount.
00:21:33Good things are
00:21:35I end up ruining it.
00:21:37Over-caring and over-watering
00:21:41That's why I like looking at weeds
00:21:42This might be the best option.
00:21:46Hello
00:21:46I'm intruding.
00:21:48Small red flowers that stand out in spring
00:22:03This is a gift from Mr. Hamada, who lives three doors down.
00:22:07Like lending and borrowing soy sauce, frying and receiving
00:22:16I hope you can find peace of mind even when you move to Tokyo.
00:22:19Yes
00:22:21It's like being able to clear your mind.
00:22:23The third floor is also covered in lots of the same white stuff, right?
00:22:29Tsukishima, south of Tsukuda, was reclaimed and expanded after the Meiji era.
00:22:33Gatta town
00:22:35Redevelopment is progressing, and there is a lot of turnover in the population.
00:22:42What Yuko Okada inherited after living there for 40 years
00:22:47This is a plum tree.
00:22:49A big building was built here, wasn't it?
00:22:52So there was a bakery nearby.
00:22:56They don't have any children anymore.
00:23:00They're closing the shop soon.
00:23:02I was told I could have the plants.
00:23:06That's why I think I'll never let them get wet.
00:23:09Oh, when someone says I'm cute, I feel like I've done it.
00:23:18I think you'll be happy to see it.
00:23:21I'm really sorry it's so cramped.
00:23:30The life of the garden is cherished, and life in the alley continues.
00:23:49I want to have a garden.
00:23:52It doesn't need to be spacious.
00:23:54Even palm-sized would be fine.
00:23:57The changing of the seasons
00:23:59The cycle of life
00:24:01Feel it directly
00:24:05I want to reclaim my true self, my natural self.
00:24:29Taito Ward, Negishi City
00:24:32Just past the hotel district in Uguisudani
00:24:34There is a house where time seems to have stopped.
00:24:44The owner of the house
00:24:46Day after day
00:24:48I continued to look at the garden.
00:24:53This is a record from Masaoka City.
00:24:59If you eat oysters
00:25:01The bell rings as the water is released.
00:25:05Eat an apple
00:25:06I wonder if I'll die before I can press the button.
00:25:11Meiji era
00:25:12haiku
00:25:13Opening a new era of tanka poetry
00:25:16At the young age of 34
00:25:18I was nourished.
00:25:22The four seasons
00:25:23From a month and a half before he passed away
00:25:25The paintings I kept drawing
00:25:30Periwinkle
00:25:32golden lotus flower
00:25:35Flower Basho
00:25:37These are flowers that bloomed in the garden throughout the four seasons.
00:25:47Gunsmoke
00:25:48The world is heaven and earth
00:25:51Flowers and plants
00:25:52The world became the only source of information.
00:25:58The garden
00:25:59For a bedside ceremony
00:26:01It is everything in the world
00:26:03It was the sole source of expression.
00:26:09The garden, which is about 20 tsubo (approximately 66 square meters),
00:26:12Plants that offer different sights to see in each of the four seasons
00:26:15They are planted so densely that they fill the space.
00:26:23Meiji 16 (1883)
00:26:24The four seasons
00:26:25Hometown
00:26:26I dropped out of junior high school in Matsuyama, Shikoku.
00:26:29Moved to Tokyo at age 16
00:26:35Becoming a newspaper reporter at age 25
00:26:38I called my mother and sister over.
00:26:40I will make my home here.
00:26:46At that time
00:26:48Shiki had already been diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis.
00:26:52At the time, it was considered an incurable disease.
00:26:58A six-tatami-mat room facing the garden
00:27:03While always being aware of death
00:27:05This is the place where I spent eight and a half years.
00:27:11It was destroyed in the air raids of 1945.
00:27:14Restored by the preservation society
00:27:16By people who love the four seasons
00:27:19The garden has also been preserved.
00:27:29It's good because it gets plenty of heat.
00:27:32Press lightly and then press down from above.
00:27:37This is what makes it so moving.
00:27:39That's touching.
00:27:42A family member and chairman of the Shikian Preservation Society
00:27:45Naoko Saito
00:27:54The four seasons are what I experience in this house.
00:27:57Newspaper serialization of "Six Feet in the Hospital Bed," etc.
00:28:00I wrote it down in great detail.
00:28:03Like a blog
00:28:09One warm day
00:28:11My mother is cleaning the room
00:28:13When the seasons move to the adjacent eight-mat room
00:28:17When I change my bed, I use this eight-tatami-mat room.
00:28:20What did you do when you moved?
00:28:23Below the knee
00:28:26It seems there was some kind of small cushion or something.
00:28:28Put it under your knee
00:28:30I've been here all this time
00:28:32Going beyond this point
00:28:34That's what a trip is all about.
00:28:37Walk to about one house
00:28:39About 180 cm
00:28:44And once again, I looked out at the garden from my bed.
00:28:48Weaving words
00:28:53However, the patient's condition worsened day by day.
00:28:58Hemocytes infect the spine
00:29:01Spinal tuberculosis develops.
00:29:08December, Meiji 32 (1899)
00:29:10Photos taken in the garden
00:29:13The gatekeepers who gathered at the district council
00:29:16Carrying Shiki, who was unable to move on her own...
00:29:19I took him out for the first time in a while.
00:29:26The gatekeepers who came to visit almost every day
00:29:29The neighbors
00:29:31I often brought flowers and plants and planted them.
00:29:38The garden is becoming even more lively.
00:29:45I planted the flowers and plants little by little.
00:29:48A small garden, perhaps?
00:30:00After that, I could no longer even turn my body towards the garden.
00:30:05The gated houses are designed so that you can see the four seasons while lying on your back.
00:30:09I'm going to make a trellis for loofahs.
00:30:15Then, a little over a year later
00:30:18As the seasons change
00:30:19Shiki continued reading about loofahs.
00:30:26Loofah on the shelf
00:30:28Hang wherever you want
00:30:31Enlightenment and the face of the evening glory and the loofah
00:30:38The autumn sun has moved to the bottom of the loofah.
00:30:57Seeing Nakamura's girl
00:30:58Viewing the Great Buddha and the garden
00:30:58Among the Great Buddha and the evening glory
00:30:59Among today's loofahs
00:31:02Viewing the small garden
00:31:02Put it in the small garden
00:31:03Put it in the small garden
00:31:04Put it in the small garden
00:31:11A small garden can be included.
00:31:23The water from the loofah plant from the day before yesterday has also been removed.
00:31:32This small garden remained a world of the four seasons until the very end.

00:34:44I will visit
00:34:48Lifestyles change and the nature around us disappears.
00:34:51How many eras
00:34:53This is a new garden that people have discovered.

00:35:16The garden extending from the veranda is larger than the room itself, at 70 square meters.
00:35:33Are there any that use the names of people from overseas?
00:35:34We have approximately 80 species and 100 types of rare plants from overseas, including edible plants.
00:35:40The bees line up.
00:35:45The main flower is definitely the rose.
00:35:50The buds begin to bloom.
00:35:54It's like they've just bloomed beautifully and are about to wither away.
00:35:59The last thing is to enjoy it like this.
00:36:03You can enjoy it for a very long time.
00:36:06If it will make them bloom that much
00:36:08We'll take good care of this too.
00:36:15Nobu Brin's Garden
00:36:17I started creating a garden on my balcony.
00:36:20I named it after my husband, Shinya.
00:36:25Shinya-san worked as an editor for books and magazines.
00:36:30Born and raised in Hokkaido
00:36:32I felt suffocated living in a city apartment.
00:36:38The character for "home" is written with the characters for "house" and "garden".
00:36:44A garden is an absolute necessity for a house.
00:36:47So, since we have a balcony, we'll make a garden on the balcony.
00:36:53In 2000, when I was 44 years old
00:36:58Shinya develops a blood disorder.
00:37:03While receiving treatment at the hospital
00:37:05Shinya continued his beloved work of making books.
00:37:10At one point, I was put in charge of a book on rose cultivation.
00:37:17That was the beginning of Shinya's fascination with this flower.
00:37:22A gorgeous wild rose
00:37:25A lovely little rose
00:37:28At Nobulin's Garden
00:37:30At one point, as many as 30 different varieties of roses were in full bloom.
00:37:42At that time, what was growing big was
00:37:44Tropical plants that my husband and I loved and bought
00:37:48I was amazed by the sheer vitality of the population.
00:37:53This is a staghorn fern, isn't it?
00:37:55This is called a staghorn fern because it looks like a deer's antlers.
00:37:58It's also called a bat orchid.
00:38:02Originally, there was a mastermind on that side.
00:38:07It was about the size of a volleyball.
00:38:10You've grown so big!
00:38:11My husband keeps adding more and more
00:38:18I absolutely loved my balcony.
00:38:20If it's really the middle of summer, it's past 4am.
00:38:24He suddenly woke up.
00:38:27I went out onto the balcony.
00:38:29And maybe they pick the flower stalks
00:38:35Okay, let's take a break.
00:38:39Flowing mainly through the balcony garden
00:38:42Couple's time
00:38:53Add a harp
00:39:03Seriously, morning, noon, and night
00:39:06All
00:39:08Some morning
00:39:10While doing things on the balcony
00:39:14I ate breakfast
00:39:17in
00:39:18I feel like I'm at home
00:39:20Doing something
00:39:22And it's stayed that way ever since.
00:39:24I'm doing yard work.
00:39:26If they say they're hungry
00:39:28So
00:39:29lunch
00:39:30Should we eat on the balcony?
00:39:34The battle against the disease has lasted for over 20 years.
00:39:38Shinya began to join the group repeatedly.
00:39:44Miya-san
00:39:45So that Shinya can be seen
00:39:47I posted pictures of my garden almost every day.
00:39:53Shinya saw it on social media.
00:39:55blog
00:39:57It was a long and difficult week.
00:40:01My wife every day
00:40:04Watching the balcony as students head to school
00:40:07Encouraged
00:40:08I've been healed.
00:40:11The hospital stay gradually gets longer.
00:40:15When you are discharged from the hospital
00:40:16Even when Miya tried to stop him, he immediately started to hold it in his mouth.
00:40:20Supporting her body with her slender legs
00:40:23I enjoyed tending to the roses.
00:40:54Thank you for watching.
00:40:59I really like these beautiful flowers that are blooming.
00:41:03It's a shame to watch it alone.
00:41:06I think so too.
00:41:09It smells nice and it's beautiful.
00:41:13I feel like it's such a waste to be all alone.
00:41:16It makes me feel a little lonely.
00:41:17recently
00:41:19I think it's a little difficult to read.
00:41:21After death
00:41:22Ms. Miya found a memo that Shinya had left behind.
00:41:30When you're hospitalized, you start to vaguely think about death.
00:41:36What will I leave behind?
00:41:40I want to leave you a garden.
00:41:44I was unable to leave anything behind.
00:41:51There is one thing to keep
00:41:56I want to leave the garden.
00:41:59People live in gardens
00:42:03The garden is a stage for a happy life.
00:42:11And the last page of this notebook
00:42:16It was written
00:42:18It was something like an interview notebook.
00:42:23I was just flipping through it and it was written there.
00:42:45My husband passed away in April, so
00:42:49It was the beginning of April.
00:42:50It was the time of year when there would be lots of flowers blooming.
00:42:55I feel like I can't just zone out.
00:42:58They really do bloom one after another.
00:43:03It's like, "There's still so much to do."
00:43:08So I think my husband must have chosen the right timing.
00:43:17Don't go during a lonely time
00:43:19That's why I
00:43:22So I'm going to leave the garden.
00:43:24It remained.
00:43:38yes
00:43:47Across the Arakawa River to the west
00:43:48Senju, Adachi Ward
00:43:55Before 3 PM
00:43:57Under the nostalgic triangular roof
00:43:59There are people who are waiting eagerly.
00:44:13Write a ring on a board
00:44:15boiled
00:44:17The water has boiled.
00:44:29Approximately 90 years since its founding
00:44:32This is a public bathhouse that has been loved by the locals.
00:44:50My main interest isn't just the hot springs.
00:45:09A beautifully maintained Japanese garden
00:45:16He has earned the title of "King of Enkawa" among public bath enthusiasts.
00:45:21Yes
00:45:26This one is better
00:45:27Hina-chan also likes this
00:45:28Mom likes this one too.
00:45:30It's like I've come to a hot spring.
00:45:33It doesn't look like Tokyo.
00:45:39Even if you say you're coming to use the garden bath
00:45:42I've never refused.
00:45:43Please say you'll go.
00:45:50Senju was from the Meiji to the Taisho period.
00:45:52Shipyards and thermal power plants were constructed.
00:45:56It has developed as an industrial city.
00:46:00Many working people live in row houses or in their cars.
00:46:05Many houses do not have a bathtub.
00:46:06There were public bathhouses everywhere.
00:46:11And the one who tried to enter the market was
00:46:14Founder Ryujiro Matsumoto
00:46:20Ryujiro, who was also a gardener
00:46:22A moment after a bath
00:46:23I thought they would surely be pleased if there was a garden.
00:46:31My particular focus is on the pond where the carp swim.
00:46:39A waterfall that creates a cooling sensation with sound.
00:46:45Behind it, lava from Mount Fuji was brought in and placed.
00:46:50This public bathhouse opened in 1938 (Showa 13).
00:46:59The person who has been tending to the garden for many years is
00:47:02I've been working as a live-in employee since I was 17.
00:47:04Machi Watanabe
00:47:07In the past
00:47:28Now Ryujiro's grandson
00:47:31The business is run by Koichi, the third generation owner.
00:47:38The era in which public bathhouses are disappearing.
00:47:41Those who survived
00:47:43Perhaps it's thanks to the garden.
00:47:47This garden is like a symbol of our home.
00:47:53I'm going for this now
00:47:56The fact that people are coming from far away
00:48:00There are quite a few.
00:48:02I would like to continue doing it for as long as possible.
00:48:05yes
00:48:06yes
00:48:25We also have customers like this
00:48:31The forest on the exploration side is located here.
00:48:36This forest is here for us.
00:48:39Once you find the center of the forest
00:48:42If you find the center of this forest
00:48:44This is a really nice principle.
00:48:49The presence of that road makes it feel the most lonely.
00:48:55This is a regular nurse.
00:48:59Apparently, she commutes by taking connecting buses from the neighboring Arakawa Ward.
00:49:04There is a public bath closer by.
00:49:08Seeking a moment in the garden
00:49:12It's like forgetting about stress.
00:49:13Because I can't hear outside noises very well from the outside world.
00:49:17I heard the sound of water in Saragi.
00:49:22I don't like it
00:49:24Excuse me
00:49:28Let's do our best again tomorrow!
00:49:41Residential area in Suginami Ward
00:49:44Many memories piled up from this point onward.
00:49:48There is a cherry blossom garden.
00:50:11Reiko Wakisaka has lived here for many years.
00:50:1597 years old
00:50:19My daughter Tomoko's old friends are gathering.
00:50:26This is an annual event held at this time of year.
00:50:30It has been going on for over 10 years.
00:50:35My mother really did plant the cherry trees for me.
00:50:40Because you did that for us, let's come and see the cherry blossoms like this.
00:50:46Did you do something really good?
00:50:49I planted just one of these.
00:50:54Reiko planted that cherry tree in her garden 70 years ago.
00:51:03The tiny saplings have grown freely and healthily.
00:51:07It produces many flowers every year.
00:51:12By the way, this cherry tree is actually the second generation.
00:51:15Going back in time
00:51:20This is a photo of Reiko taken in front of the first cherry tree.
00:51:26This is about the first time I came to this house in 1941.
00:51:33The moment I opened the door, there were cherry blossoms in full bloom right in front of me.
00:51:37This is a cherry blossom
00:51:39This is a fourth-year student of mine.
00:51:41This is my sister and this is my best friend
00:51:45Reiko, who grew up in Kyoto, was 12 years old when
00:51:49I moved to Tokyo because of my father's job.
00:51:56The girl learned the true beauty of the cherry blossoms
00:52:00It started from this point.
00:52:04In Kyoto, ordinary people don't plant cherry trees in their gardens.
00:52:09It was the first time I'd ever had cherry trees in my own garden.
00:52:13I realized that they are beautiful even as they wither and fall.
00:52:16The beauty of falling cherry blossoms
00:52:21However, in December of the year I came to Tokyo...
00:52:25The Pacific War broke out.
00:52:31From the following year onward, the war situation steadily worsened.
00:52:35Eventually, air raids on mainland Japan began.
00:52:50The air raids on Tokyo intensified.
00:52:531944
00:52:56Reiko and her family were under the cherry tree in their garden.
00:52:59We dug a small air raid shelter.
00:53:06I went to the airplane factory in the morning after all.
00:53:10I went there from a girls' school.
00:53:11I absolutely have to wake up at 7:00 to make it on time.
00:53:17So always when the warning alarm sounds
00:53:20I'm going to run into an air-raid shelter and sleep there.
00:53:22No, that's not it. You won't be able to get up the next morning, right?
00:53:25I heard the sound of bombs all night long.
00:53:30March 1945
00:53:33The family evacuated to Fukushima, where the father's family home was located.
00:53:38The news arrived that the house in Suginami had burned down completely.
00:53:42It was not long after that.
00:53:44Two months after the air raids
00:53:47I finally got my ticket
00:53:49I went to Tokyo to check things out.
00:53:52I hope every day that there's something left in the air raid shelter.
00:53:57So when I came in here
00:53:58Fragments of a teacup, or something like that.
00:54:01The roof was cracked all over.
00:54:05So I left.
00:54:06Going out into an area with no buildings
00:54:08When I looked around, only the cherry blossoms remained.
00:54:12I was really happy.
00:54:13I heard it was completely destroyed by fire.
00:54:16Look at the one that survived the fire.
00:54:19I thought it was a good thing that it lasted so long.
00:54:20I was really happy.
00:54:22Also, everyone's getting tanned.
00:54:25I hugged him.
00:54:26Because there's only one.
00:54:31What I found in the air raid shelter under the cherry tree
00:54:34I still cherish it.
00:54:37This is just two books
00:54:42I've read it many times.
00:54:44Zenigata Heiji's 100 Tales of Birds
00:54:48In the midst of losing everything
00:54:50Precious memories
00:54:52It was as if the cherry trees were protecting us.
00:54:59but
00:55:00Reiko saw the first cherry tree
00:55:02This was the last day
00:55:05When I returned
00:55:07The garden had been transformed into a sweet potato field.
00:55:13To secure food supplies
00:55:16Someone dug up the cherry tree
00:55:18I turned it into a field.
00:55:21Amid the chaos and hardship of the postwar period
00:55:24This was happening all over Tokyo.
00:55:301952
00:55:31Reiko got married
00:55:344 years later
00:55:35To live with my mother
00:55:37I will build a house in this location again.
00:55:43The first thing I planted in the garden was
00:55:47It was a cherry tree.
00:55:54That's why they planted cherry trees in a place where there was nothing.
00:55:58I couldn't think of anything but cherry blossoms.
00:56:03My first encounter with Sakura and my farewell to her.
00:56:09The second generation cherry tree where family and friends gather
00:56:16Reiko's life
00:56:19Miwa has been watching over them all this time.
00:56:41Three times a week
00:56:42Playing the role of a health mahjong instructor in a room with a view of the garden.
00:56:47Should wait
00:56:48I think it's okay to wait a little longer.
00:56:50This
00:57:13Early June, Shibuya, Tokyo
00:57:18This is the balcony garden that I cultivated together with my late husband.
00:57:23The flowering season has arrived again this year.
00:57:27The jacaranda trees have finally started to bloom.
00:57:36Miya Kodera
00:57:37For Shinya, who was hospitalized six years ago
00:57:41I posted a photo of this flower.
00:57:44Then Shinya said
00:57:50The jacaranda is blooming on my balcony right now.
00:57:55One of the world's three most beautiful flowering trees
00:57:57This is the plant I'm most proud of in my garden.
00:58:05Balcony garden
00:58:07My pride and joy, my flower
00:58:10It gave me the strength to live.
00:58:15on second thoughts
00:58:18Because plants are living things.
00:58:22I want to make it shine beautifully.
00:58:28So if you don't have a garden
00:58:30Maybe I can't make a living.
00:58:33a little bit
00:59:02Yeah
