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.

What are the features of a traditional Japanese garden?

At its most basic, the essential elements of a Japanese garden are water, stone and plants. Other common elements include garden bridges over the water source, stone lanterns, and koi ponds. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of items relating to the art of Japanese gardening from some of the world’s top sellers.
