Default Japanese gardening

radically different I would say. Japanese gardens are for really small tight spaces,
are very tightly landscaped and groomed constantly. I find Chinese landscaping to be
much more "wild", loose, free style than Japanese. Ingrid

Chinese and Japanese gardens create a landscape that
stimulates the imagination rather than the understanding. One sees over and
over the juxtaposition of Yang and Yin, the masculine and feminine, hard and
soft; for example rock and water, bamboo and chrysanthemum, straight and
curved lines.
