Japanese gardens can be found in neighboorhoods, or sacred Buddhist and Shinto temples. Garden making is a high art in Japan, once again their style of garden derives from the Chinese style. You can find all types of native treesm, flowers and plants. If you'd ever like to visit one they have them in Florida, and I provided the link for you below.

    It amazes me how incredibly beautiful these gardens are. The intricate designs and patterns incorporated throughout these Japanese gardens are completely outstanding, and judging from the picture, a lot of effort went into creating these masterpieces. The foliage, rocks, and overall setting of this garden is breathtaking and inspiring in a way. I would love to visit one of these gardens one day, possibly in Japan itself. If not, I might have to check out the one in Florida.

    Wow! That looks like a national park! I love the fact that Japanese citizens not only care about the environment, but they make an art out of it. I'm familiar with the Asian art of "miniature trees", or at least that's what I call it because I don't know the actual name. I'm sure you know, and I'd love if maybe you could clear that up for me in class.

    These gardens are beautiful and they are definitely a work of art. That has to take so much time and effort to make! I would love to see one in Florida, I might considerate it. I can only imagine how clean the air smells, the Japanese have so many different ways of art it’s so interesting! This blog makes me want to go to Japan more and more every time I view your blog. It seems beautiful there, at least what you show me, and there art views are so different it would be a nice change.

    That picture is truly remarkable. Its something you'd probably never see in North America. Its like a painting, but its not. Its real. Its incredible how skilled people in Japanese culture can form gardens into artwork.

    @Big T

    The art of "little trees" is commonly referred to as bonsai!
