Dry landscaped gardens

[grouie]

Japanese are famous for creating the most exotic dry landscaped gardens. While personally I prefer a lot of greenery and very little of rockery I found this one particularly interesting as it is a combination of both There is a small description to it.


"Garden of the Cross at Zuiho-in, a subsidiary temple of Daitoku-ji, Kyoto, Japan. Zuiho-in was established by the Christian daimyo Ōtomo Sōrin, who laid out the stones in this garden in the pattern of the Cross."

Awesome japanese garden. I really like japanese culture and their anime, I had forgotten they had really interesting looking houses and gardens I love their gardens, but only to admire them, I'd never try something like that in my own home, not even if I had the space, but would love having a neighbor with a garden like that.

Japanese gardens have a meaning in that every curve, every height, depth tell a story. I have picked up a few principles of Ikebana - Japanese flower arrangements.

I love Japanese gardens. They're so detailed, neat and pretty! There is a big Japanese garden in my area. People pay to visit it. It's definitely worth the money.
