Mr. Jian Ye said, "As a Zen monk, I have been following the spirit of Zen for many years. For me, "Zuo Ting" is a highly spiritual design process, in which "self" is expressed in different spaces. Not only do they pursue beauty in shape, but the Zen monks, known as "stone monks", also regard the garden as a place for their own performances and the court-building process as a part of their daily practice. I also regard the creative process of my works as a kind of practice, which has accumulated bit by bit until now. The imperial court occupies a very important position in my heart. "
Mr. Shunmyo Masuno said, "Whenever I look for suitable stones and other materials for my garden, I often go deep into nature for research. In the process of looking for plants, I will draw many sketches with emotion. When I started to erect stones and arrange plants, I was completely immersed in the dialogue of various related elements. I want to find a certain spirit of a stone or a tree to determine its proper position. "
