"A Japanese Garden is not only a place for the cultivation of trees and flowering shrubs, but one that provides secluded leisure, rest, repose, meditation, and sentimental pleasure…
The Garden speaks to all the senses, not just to the mind alone." -Professor Takuma Tono
Features
A catalogue of features "typical" of the Japanese garden may be drawn up without inquiring deeply into the aesthetic underlying Japanese practice.
Typical Japanese gardens have at their center a home from which the garden is viewed. In addition to residential architecture, depending on the
archetype, Japanese gardens often contain several of these elements:
-Water, real or symbolic.
-A bridge over the water, or stepping stones.
-Rocks or stone arrangements (or settings).
-A lantern, typically of stone.
-A teahouse or pavilion.
-An enclosure device such as a hedge, fence, or wall of traditional character. -Wikipedia
