need help with Japanese garden

[sunbury chick]

I have been working on my Japanese garden for a long time. The trees and shrubs are already established.I have a huge stone and giant reed grass.I need suggestions for making it look like a tranquil space.It is over looking a 1/2 acre pond stocked with giant Koi.I'll post pics so maybe that will help.Thank you so much for any ideas you might have.....Sunbury chick, Sandy from Ohio

My girlfriend took me here for my birthday, it was built by four japanese gardeners over a summer as part of a peace project. Beautiful garden and a very sad experince. The pathway to the garden is covered with memorials to local WWII veterans. Maybe get some idea from the many pics or videos!
