4. Japanese Garden The art of gardening is believed to be an important part of Japanese culture for many centuries. The garden design in Japan is strongly connected to the philosophy and religion of the country. Shinto, Buddhism and Taoism were used in the creation of different garden styles in order to bring a spiritual sense to the gardens and make them places where people could spend their time in a peaceful way and meditate.

5. Essential Aspects The line between garden and its surrounding landscape is not distinct. Gardens incorporate natural and artificial elements and thus, fuse the elements of nature and architecture. In the Japanese garden, the viewer should consider nature as a picture frame into which the garden, or the man- made work of art, is inserted.

6. Design Principles Nature is the ideal that you must strive for. You can idealize it, even symbolize it, but you must never create something that nature itself cannot. Balance, or sumi. The proportions and spaces are an essential Design principle The “emptiness” of portions of the garden . This space, or ma, defines the elements around it, and is also defined by the elements surrounding it. It is the true spirit of yin and yang. Without nothing, you cannot have something. It is a central tenet of Japanese gardening.

7. Formality Hill and pond and flat styles can be shin (formal), gyo (intermediate) or so (informal) . Formal styles were most often found at temples or palaces, the intermediate styles were appropriate for most residences, and the informal style was relegated to peasant huts and mountain retreats. The tea garden is always in the informal style.

10. Basic rules in the design of Japanese gardens Natural : that should make the garden look as if it grew by itself Asymmetry : that creates the impression of it being natural Odd numbers : It supports the effect of the asymmetry Simplicity : that follows the idea of 'less is more' Triangle : that is the most common shape for compositions made of stones, plants, etc. Contrast : that creates tension between elements Lines : that can create both tranquility and tension Curves : that softens the effect Openness : that indicates interaction between all elements

11. Basic elements in Japanese gardens a stone lantern representing four natural elements: earth, water, fire and wind statues of male and female lions, placed at the entrance of the garden in order to protect the garden from intruders, representing the two opposite forces: yin and yang (fire and water, male and female). water basin known as a deer chaser, which keep deer away by making a special sound when filled up the koi fish swimming in ponds, which has a decorative meaning typical Japanese bridge , called a moonbridge, whose purpose is to reflect artistic feelings.

12. Elements of Japanese Gardens Ponds, waterfalls, wells, bridges (real or symbolic) Stepping stones, Garden paths Stone water basins, stone lanterns Garden plants and trees Fences and walls Stones

13. WATER OR IKE It represents the sea, lake, pond or river in nature. Non geometrical in appearance; in order to preserve the natural shapes, man- made ponds are asymmetrical. The bank of the pond is usually bordered by stones A fountain is sometimes found at the bottom of a hill or hillside or secluded forest. Wells are sometimes found in a Japanese garden.

14. Paths or tobi-ishi Usually used in tea gardens. flat stepping stones served to preserve the grass as well as orient the viewer to a specific visual experience.  step- stones are found near the veranda or entrance of the house or tea room. The visitor of the house or room is expected to place his shoes on the step- stone before entering.

15. Stone lanterns Stone lanterns are placed besides prominent water basins whose luminance underscored the unfinished beauty of the tea aesthetic.

16. Plants Garden of the 10th to 12th centuries contained cherry, plum trees, pines and willows. Influence of the Zen sect and watercolor painting from Southern China transformed the colorful Japanese garden in the Middle Ages. Flowers, flowering plants and shrubs were regarded as signs of frivolity and were replaced by evergreen trees that symbolized eternity.

17. Trees in Japanese Gardens Japanese garden is predominately green with its use of evergreen trees. When flowering trees found in Japanese garden are camelias, specifically the tsubaki and sazanka .

18. Fences and walls There are three types of fences: the short fence which extends from the house into the garden an inner fence and an outer fence. Short fences or sodegaki are screens that hide unwanted views or objects. They are about 6 or 7 feet high. Add color and texture to the garden. Materials used are bamboo, wood and twigs of bamboo or tree.

19. Garden Enclosures For the garden to be a true retreat, we must first seal it away from the outside world. Once it is enclosed, we must create a method (and a mindset) to enter and leave our microcosm. Fences and gates are as important to the Japanese garden as lanterns and maples. As with most things associated with the garden the fence and gates have deep symbolic meaning as well as specific function. We are encouraged to view the garden as a separate world in which we have no worries or concerns. The fence insulates us from the outside world and the gate is the threshold where we both discard our worldly cares and then prepare ourselves to once again face the world.

20. Stones Stones are fundamental elements of Japanese gardens. Stones used are not quarried by the hand of man, but of stones shaped by nature only Used to construct the garden's paths, bridges, and walkways. Represent a geological presence where actual mountains are not viewable or present. They are placed in odd numbers and a majority of the groupings reflect triangular shapes

21. Kasan They are artificial mountains usually, built in gardens. Generally between one and five of the hills are built. They are made up of ceramics, dried wood or strangely-shaped stones.

22. Scenery Methods The Japanese garden can include three possible methods for scenery: The first is the reduced scale scenery method. The reduced scale method takes actual natural elements and reproduces them on a smaller scale. The second technique called symbolization and it involves generalization and abstraction; this could be accomplished by using white sand to simulate the ocean. Borrowed views is a technique that refers to artistic use of elements that imply scenes other than those actually portrayed. An example of this would be a painting of a house in the city with a seaside dock in the middle of the street to imply a seascape scene.
