1. JAPANESE GARDEN ARCHITECTURE

2. INTRODUCTION
• Japanese gardens are also known as Zen gardens.
• Japanese gardens are traditional gardens whose designs are
accompanied by Japanese aesthetic and philosophical ideas, avoid
artificial ornamentation, and highlight the natural landscape.
• The idea of these unique gardens began during the Asuka period.
• Inspired by Chinese landscape gardens.
• Japanese gardens first appeared on the island of Honshu.
• Japanese gardens have their roots in Japanese religion of Shinto.
• Earlier gardens were designed in order to bring a spiritual sense to
the gardens and make them places where people could spend their
time in a peaceful way and meditate.
• Today, in many parts of Japan and the western parts of the world the
traditions of Japanese garden art are still maintained. The intensity
of expression, continue to inspire many artists that aspire to create a
personal Japanese garden of their own.

5. DESIGN PRINCIPLES
• The Japanese garden design principle are seen
through its design elements.
• Natural: That should make the garden look as if it
grew by itself.
• Asymmetry: That creates the impression of it being
natural.
• The Design should be like three, five or seven (Odd
Numbers) that support the effect of the asymmetry.
• Simplicity: That follows the idea of “less is more”.
• Contrast: That creates tension between elements.
• Openness: That indicates interaction between all
elements.

• The Paradise Garden
• Karesansui dry rock gardens
• Roji, or tea gardens

7. Chisen-shoyū-teien or pond garden
• The chisen-shoyū-teien ("lake-spring-
boat excursion garden") was imported
from China during the Heian
period (794–1185).
• Each wing ended in a pavilion from
which guests could enjoy the views of
the lake.
The Paradise Garden
• The Paradise Garden appeared in the
late Heian period, created by nobles
belonging to the Amida Buddhism sect.
They were meant to symbolize Paradise or
the Pure Land (Jōdo), where
the Buddha sat on a platform contemplating
a lotus pond.

8. Karesansui dry rock gardens
Karesansui gardens or Japanese rock
gardens, became popular in Japan in the
14th century thanks to the work of a
Buddhist monk, Musō Soseki (1275–
1351) who built zen gardens at the five
major monasteries in Kyoto. These
gardens have white sand or raked gravel
in place of water, carefully arranged
rocks, and sometimes rocks and sand
Roji, or tea gardens
The tea garden was created during
the Muromachi period (1333–1573)
and Momoyama period (1573–1600) as a
setting for the Japanese tea ceremony,
or chanoyu. The style of garden takes its name
from the roji, or path to the teahouse, which is
supposed to inspire the visitor to meditation to
prepare him for the ceremony.

9. Kaiyū-shiki-teien, or promenade
gardens
Promenade or stroll gardens (landscape
gardens in the go-round style) appeared
in Japan during the Edo period, (1600–
1854), at the villas of nobles or warlords.
These gardens were designed to
complement the houses in the
new sukiya-zukuri style of architecture,
which were modeled after the tea house.
Hermitage garden
A hermitage garden is a small
garden usually built by a samurai or
government official who wanted to
retire from public life and devote
himself to study or meditation. It is
attached to a rustic house, and
approached by a winding path,
which suggests it is deep in a
forest.
