P-Train from my understanding of japanese Gardens they use mostly hues of greens, golds and textures. Those textures extend not just to the plants but the natural hardscape within the garden itself. I haven't seen any true Japanese gardens with anything flowering. Educating ( preparing) your customer if they are not already when it comes to this type of garden so they won't be disappointed with the lack of "flower" display. You have got to get some Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' a gold form of Japanese forest grass into the design in several places for that wind swept feel. It dislikes the sun though. Great for a shady area of the garden. Get a soft sounding, natural looking, water feature somewhere in it. Maybe something cascading into the ground along the lines of a natural stone, pondless waterfall. I envy you ...I am already planning it in my mind.
