TRADITION ARTS AND CRAFTS Nature Buddhism Bonsai

The Japanese try to express the beauty of nature in their gardens. The elements of a Japanese garden represent the elements of nature. Two basic styles of Japanese gardens are: Tsukiyama Style: In a Tsukiyama garden, small hills and stones represent mountains and a pond represents the ocean. Karesansui Style: Dry garden style: White sand represents the ocean and stones represent the hills. This garden style is strongly influenced by Zen Buddhism. Tsukiyama Karesansui Kyoto is the best place in Japan for visiting all kinds of gardens.
