cute ... however In my opinion there is no reason that the qualities of a
Japanese garden cannot be applied to any garden. Simplicity, white space as
important as foreground, etc. There are a great many books on the topic and
many sites.

A true Japanese garden is one tended to by a Japanese gardener!!!!

Anything else is just an occidental looking for a place to happen.

I've been lurking for a bit now. This is a very informative
newsgroup. I have a question that I hope can be answered. What is it
that makes a "Japanese Garden" a true Japanese garden? There seems to
be many interpretations out there. Any sites to recommend me to with
pics? Thanks everyone.
