We have mention one style of Japanese Landscaping garden in the previous article, then we will provide you other types, Chaniwa Gardens and Karesansui Gardens.
Chaniwa Gardens are the tea gardens. As you might have guessed, they
were basically established for celebrating tea ceremonies. You are sure
to spot landscape steppings in these gardens. By following these, you could end up in the tea house. You would also see stone lanterns,
where you could wash your hands and clean yourself before joining this
tea party. So, the structure of these gardens contains a tea house and
this is where the ceremony is being held in reality.
The second type is the Karesansui Gardens, which is the dry gardens. As
the name implies, they are not very 'green'. Basically, they focus on
some abstract ways of demonstrating natural landscapes. You might see a
lot ofs and sand in such gardens and even moss to depict where the
mountains, islands, boats and water bodies stand. These gardens are
usually very strongly dominated by the Zen Buddhism. The basic purpose
is to be used for meditation and contemplation.
After these description of Japanese landscaping garden, are you feel
that the concepts behind these gardens are quite creative and different
from the normal. You might have noticed that nowhere is a fountain or
artificial water source mentioned. Yeah, the gardens are supposed to
give as natural an appearance as a human being can create. And the whole
design also deliver this kind of concept.
