Seat Layout

This 8-page article explains how to construct a suitable outdoor bench for a Japanese gazebo or Japanese garden.  Japanese gardens are usually viewed from inside homes, but some garden owners enjoy placing outdoor benches in roofed outbuildings such as azumaya and tea ceremony waiting benches.  Rather than looking vaguely "Asian," the best seating arrangements follow guidelines for ergonomic chairs, with seat backs, armrests, and other comfort-inducing details.  This article is about chair ergonomics and how it relates to sukiya-style gardens.
