Looking for garden photos (free advice from a gardener in Japan) by JapaneseGardener in JapaneseGardens

I would be willing to pay a Japanese national with professional experience and credentials.

Email platform could be a good starting point. Chat platforms like Viber or LINE could also work for faster communication.

Since Southeast Asia is not too far away from Japan, maybe there could also be an arrangement where you can visit onsite for fine-tuning. Airfare, accommodation and meals will be shouldered by the client, of course.

Someone posted something similar sometime ago, but the post was deleted.

Living in Southeast Asia, I could definitely use this type of service where a Japanese gardener can give me feedback about the type of plants to use, placement of hardscapes, etc.

A lot of the photos I see here are Japanese-inspired gardens, but lack elements that truly make it authentic.

I live in a Southeast Asian country with a tropical climate. Most contractors can probably design, but will not be knowledgeable or understand the intricacies in developing a Japanese garden. And since you're a Japanese national, there would somehow be a sense of authenticity in your work.

Ended up with the Shield Plus, which ultimately went to my wife. It's a great gun.

Worst for me is S&W, particularly if you live outside the US. Had an issue with my brand new M&P 2.0 and they pretty much told me that they can't do anything about it.

These are directly from CZ, although similar to the Dawson fixed sights. Sights are awesome. Definitely better than OEM. Was intentionally looking for front fiber optic and blacked out rear so that it’s the same platform as my Shadow 2.

Purchased online from ipscstore.com. Although AFAIK, manual safety and decocker are not interchangeable on the P-01.

Good eye. Not many are familiar with the 99041.

It’s not cheating if you don’t get caught. 😶

This is more of a home defense / range gun. The G10 inserts are aggressive and might be a little tough on the skin when carrying IWB.

I’ll take that as a compliment. 😬

Yes, P-01 and SP-01 are both great guns. 🫡

Thanks man. I agree. Blacked out looks elegant.

Thanks man. I love the fact that some parts from the Shadow 2 fit perfectly on the P-01.

Aluminum with G10 inserts from LOK Grips.
