Design Japanese Garden

Here are some basic principles of Japanese garden design to bear in mind when creating your garden.

Nature comes first

The Japanese garden is all about nature. You're trying to Design Japanese Garden to create a perfect piece of nature in miniature. So lines are curving and organic; stone and wood is left to weather; objects are placed in odd numbers. Also, everything in your garden should be appropriate for the location. So the stones you use should ideally be of a type that's found locally; ditto for your plants.

Simplicity

Less is more. Japanese gardens are never fussy. This is especially true in rustic style gardens, where simplicity is revered.

Balance

There should be a harmonious balance in all things: between vertical lines and horizontal; soft and hard; wet and dry; objects and space; high, mid and low level elements. There should also be a balance in terms of size: if your garden is small, the elements within it must be small; if it's large, you should use larger rocks and ornaments. Everything in balance.

Asymmetry

You don't find symmetry in natural landscapes, so we don't use it Japanese gardens.

Emptiness

Empty space is a feature in and of itself. If there are too many elements in your garden, it's definitely not going to feel Japanese. You need the proper balance between space and stuff.

Seasonality

Design Japanese Garden and enjoy all year round. Spring and summer are easy; but in autumn you can enjoy the falling leaves, and in winter, if you've planned the shape and structure of your garden carefully, it will look truly magnificent under its layer of snow.

Meigakure

Meigakure means that you never see the whole garden at once. The different areas of the garden are partly concealed. This creates a feeling of space, nature, and mystery.
