Japanese garden

Zen culture

The moss in the Japanese garden is beautiful especially in rainy season. We usually feel depressive in rainy season but, at the same time, we are pleasant to see wet moss and fresh leaves in the garden. We want to see a peace of mind inside the green of the moss and trees.
We put water into the stone basin at the edge of the garden. White sand patterns look like the river or sea and stones in the sand garden look like the islands on the sea. Japanese summer is hot and humid, therefore we want to see a peace of mind in the garden. That is a smart idea which Japanese people have been keeping on.
There is a Shishi Odoshi (threat against the wild boar) in the garden. Its sound represents the stillness. It would be interesting to express the stillness by the sound. “Kahn---“ There is little uselessness in the Japanese garden.
