2. Introduction
• Japanese gardens are based on their respective ideas of
heaven.
• A most Important teaching of the Japanese garden is
possibly that “unless a garden has an air of peace it’s
not worth a place visiting”.
• Another strong basis of the Japanese garden is it’s
immutability (no changes takes place with time).

3. Types of Japanese gardens
1. Hill Garden:-
• This style is known as ‘Tsukiyama niwa’ or 'Tsukiyama-sansui’,
meaning hills and water.
• The Important points in the garden are decorated with stones and
selected trees.
• Untrimmed stepping stones are placed over the walks.
• An island is generally a usual feature in a hill garden.
• When the island is present it should be decorated with a worshipping
stone called “raithai seki”- sow viewing lantern and a pine tree.

latern and a pine tree

6. 2. Flat Garden:-
• This type of Japanese garden is known as “Hira niwa”.
• Flat gardens are supposed to represent a mountain
valley or meadowland.
• A flat Garden is not necessarily as flat as pan cake.
• In a flat garden, the principle is to avoid strong vertical
lines reprented by tall pines.

8. 3. Tea Garden:-
• The tea garden is laid out based on certain principles and customs of the
Japanese tea ceremony and hence needs a considerable space of atleast
about 200 square metres, for it’s designing.
• To protect the tea house from the noise of the outer world, the tea
gardens are divided into an outer garden(Soto-roji) and inner tea garden
(uchi-roji).
• In outer tea garden deciduous trees should predominate, whereas in
inner tea garden evergreen trees.
• The capacity of inner tea garden(Uchi roji) is to accommodate ‘only five
persons’.

12. 4. Passage Garden:-
• The passage gardens, the “Roji niwa”, are those
which are laid in narrow passage.
• Bushy shrubs and trees are unsuitable in a passage
garden, instead plants with open form and slender
shapes are selected.

14. 5. Sand Garden:-
• It is the simplest style of gardening, though not
liked by many as it is totally devoid of plants.
• The most famous sand Garden exist in Kyoto, and
is known as “Ryoanji garden”.
• This style of garden looks pleasant and effective
only when confined to a limited area.
