| Koohii Story 1 | In order to build a pagoda in this small Japanese garden everything has to fit: the soil to the left and the flowers in the upper right corner. |
| Koohii Story 2 | Pictograph-o-rama. This is a corner of a Japanese garden, with a small mound of soil on the left, and a little concrete pagoda in the front with flowers behind it. (To my eye, the fit looks a lot like a little pagoda anyway. This may or may not cause confusion for you, though...). |
