The Japanese gardener

This guy was a talented creator of Japanese gardens for his clients' homes.

He traveled the world to build them outside his home country of Japan.

He quit because "people no longer have taste."

He was commissioned for jobs that were increasingly similar to one another.

This is because people no longer have taste. And in the end, never having pushed their minds to find their own taste, they rely on the taste of others.

The gardens were starting to all look the same.

His work was becoming monotonous and lacking in creativity.

The motivation ran out, and so did his work.
