Japanese gardens are very important to the
Japanese.
All of the gardens are representations of nature. The purpose of these gardens in to capture nature is the utmost natural
way, and do it with a touch of artistic feeling.
Japanese gardens are built for endurance and to withstand and
harmonise with the typically wet weather of Japan. The
essential elements to a Japanese garden--water, garden plants,
stones, waterfalls, trees, and bridges--create this symbolism.
A Japanese garden is a quiet
place, allowing people to look back and
reflect upon themselves, or meditate. In a Japanese garden there is
a respect for the nature. The understatement and simplicity of
design add dignity and grace to the japanese gardens, making a clean
and unique statement. These gardens give many impressions to
those who appreciate them and they move people in various ways. This
is the evidence that the designers of the Japanese gardens of
different times had extremely sophisticated sense of beauty and
aestheticity.
