The charm of a “Japanese garden” packed with elements of the universe

I think the Japanese garden is an artistic existence that the world can be proud of.

Because it is packed with the elements of the universe based on the In-You-Gogyosetsu theory.

In this article, I will write about Japanese gardens.

What is the In-You-Gogyosetsu theory theory included in the Japanese garden?

In Japan, we are conscious of the “In-You-Gogyosetsu theory Theory” in various scenes.

The theory is the idea of ​​dividing the entire universe into five elements, “water, gold, soil, fire, and wood.”

Thus, Japanese garden represents the entire universe.

Queen’s Freddie Mercury, who loved Japan is known that he had a Japanese garden at his home in London.

The sound that echoes in the Japanese garden

There are few Japanese gardens now, but many Japanese can imagine the same sound.

This is called “Shishi-odoshi”.

Pour water into the bamboo tube little by little, and when it accumulates above a certain level, the water that has tilted the bamboo will spill out.

And when the bamboo returns to its original position, the sound of the bamboo hitting the rock echoes.

The beginning is said to be Shisen-do in Ichijoji, Kyoto.

Because deer and wild boars have infested the garden, so they started to install them to get rid of them.

It’s one of the fashionable things now, but in the old days it was for coexistence with nature.

Trees play a leading role in Japanese gardens

Recently, gardening has become popular in Japan, and the number of Western-style gardens has increased.

The Western-style garden is full of seasonal flowers, which makes your heart gorgeous.

On the contrary, in Japan, “tree” is the leading role.

The representative is bonsai.

The number of enthusiasts is increasing overseas.

A typical tree is a pine tree.

Planting small pine trees in pots and enjoy the appearance of branches and leaves.

Sometimes we plant them with grass or moss.

Bonsai seems to aim to reproduce the appearance of a large tree seen in nature by reducing it on a pot.

For that purpose, as well as pruning, the wood is fixed with a wire and bent.

I feel strange to fix it with a wire aiming the nature.

Naturally, the results can only be seen after the tree has grown.

It is also a hobby to enjoy time, facing trees carefully.
