Using Japanese Themes in the Home and Garden

Using Japanese Themes in the Home and Garden

Article by Adam Peters









The main principles of Japanese garden design. How and why each principle of the design is important to the integrity of the garden.

A traditional Japanese garden incorporates the basic elements of Japanese design, but it is now being used in many western settings, including private homes and public parks.

To properly design a Japanese garden, there are symbols of Japanese design have t be taken into consideration. These will most likely include water, an island or the suggestion of an island, a bridge, and a permanent feature such as a large rock, tea house or pavilion.

Japanese gardens are intended to be strolled in, to be sure, but also to simply enjoy visually, even from a vantage point such as a home or a terrace. A series of steps may lead to the garden, suggesting one can cross the bridge, enter the tea house, or enjoy the light from the lantern.

Many times, the concept of water will be depicted symbolically only. In this case, a style known as Karenasui, meaning dry landscape, there is no water at all and even plants are not necessary. But the look of feel of a garden with water running through it is nevertheless created. This is done by using sand or pebbles that are arranged in a flowing pattern. Rocks may symbolize bushes and other plants, or small plants such as shrubs or even moss may be used sparingly. The most important types of plants that are used in Japanese garden design are black pine, bamboo, low forming evergreens, ferns and mosses. They are frequently arranged to simulate water.

A Japanese garden is truly intended for peace and relaxation. Enjoying nature in a spartan state of the simplicity of single plants and rocks by themselves creates this feeling of peace.

If one strolls through a Japanese garden, each section is specifically designed for the stroller. One is guided along an open path with frequent spots to enjoy an interesting shrub, plant or decoration. The eye is caught in many ways, as the designer will use the principle of “hide and reveal” so that an element of surprise is achieved.

The path, walkway and bridge in a traditional garden are very symbolic of the way we take in life. Frequently, large stones are placed at the end so the stroller is looking upon a “mountain” in the distance.

Stones may also represent water, as in a path that winds like a stream, or a philosophy, as in a group of stones in a triangular pattern. Frequently, situated either by a real stream or a “rock” stream, you will find lanterns, so that you have the female and male elements of water and fire in close proximity.
