What makes a Japanese garden?

What makes a Japanese garden?
Natural guardian stones and waterfalls are common features in Japanese gardens. In Eastern philosophy, stones are significant — they have practical and symbolic meanings. They bind the garden to the ground and give it its unique personality as a symbol of eternity and the omnipresence of nature's force.
