    The Ryoanji Garden is composed of a pond, a fountain and various stones; all of them are characteristic of the Rinzai Zen Buddhism. This garden did Gensho Giten, the founder of this Ryoanji temple, build in order to enhance the essence of the Myoshinji school.
    The subject of this garden means the Buddha himself who originates in Zen texts, such as the Soeishu, Hekiganroku, and Gokeshoshiisan.
    The conception of it is the “realization of our inner Buddha-nature” originating in the 7th Kean of the Hekiganroku-the Meaning of the Buddha Asked by Echo.
    Its formation means the “freedom from literal attachment “and the” transmission of the Buddhamind beyond his teachings” coming from the 18th Koan of the Hekiganrokuthe Stupa of No-form by Echu-kokushi-and the Answers of National Teacher Echu in the Soeishic, and Mitsuan Kantetsu in the Gokeshushrsan.

    The purpose of this study is to clarify a landscapeevaluation method. The similar studies which have been done so far mostly made their approach from different visual aspects, and it seems that they fail to have their subjectivity in terms of the evaluation method.
    I presume that “landscape”should greatly depend on a personal matter, and openspace (structureopenspace), which is concerned with the preservation of natural environment that is argued here and there at the present time, is also to be considered in the same category
    Therefore, in this study, I tried to comprehend the landscape from an ecological aspect, and evaluated it in terms of the healthiness of the landscape.
    Although, there are several studies, like Brian Hackett's or Ammer's, which were made thire approach from an ecological viewpoint, few landscape evaluation studies have been does so far.
    By the new evaluation method, which was done on this case-study in the Western Tokyo areos, I completed a landscape-evaluation map which is shown as Figure-6. On the Figure-6, dark tone shows the areas of “high landscape satisfaction.” which are explained on the landscape matrix of Table-4.

    The experiments were carried out to ascertain the effects of mist propagation and IBA treatments on the cuttings of wild trees and shrubs. The results obtained were summarized as follows.
    1) Especially, 5 species, Tripetaleia paniculata, Rhododendron wadanum, Helwingia japonica, Meliosma myriantha and Vaccinium oldham attained favorable results on mist as compared with the ope cutting.
    2) Following 12 species, Rhododendron semibarbatum, Viburnum tomentosum, Callicarpa japonica, Styrax japonica, Stachyurus praecox, Enkianthus campanulatus, Ilex serrata, Cornus kousa, Sapium japonicum and Fraxinum sieboldiana attained favorable results to take IBA with mist.
    3) Following 9 species, Viburnum phlebotricum, Clethra barbinervis, Corylus sieboldiana, Hamamelis japonica, Aamelanchier asiatica, Cercidiphylum japonicum, Sorbus japonica, Lindera umbellata and Sorbus commixta results to have no effect of mist and IBA, rather the open cuttings were favorable.
    4) On the other hand, 5 species, Buckleya joan, Acer rufinerve, Evaliopanax innovans, Acer nikoense and Lyonia neziki were hard to root not only the open cutting but also mist and IBM.

    This report was made to inform the effect of colored polyethylene films.
    We planted rooted cuttings of Kin-mokusei in a propagation bed and covered them with polyethylene films, using both ways of tunnel and mulch. The colored films used for the test were transparent, gray, red, orange, green, blue, and purple. As the test was given in the summer, we shaded all parts of the propagation bed from the sun with cheesecloth and marsh reed screens. The shade effect was 90%.
    The taking root percentage of all the rooted cuttings which we planted was 100. The rooting percentage was 97 in the section shaded in green polyethylene films, which turned out to be superior to other section. But the growth and development of the roots were inferior to other section and we finaly found that transparent films were the best.
    We concluded from this report with the results that if the shade effect was 90 %, and the nonirrigation cuttings of Kin-mokusei obtained better result than those other conditions in the summer season.
