The Many Faces of Japanese Garden…
“It does not matter what form the Shakkei garden takes. It may be a garden of nothing but stones and gravel…or it may be a garden planted with trees and shrubbery to achieve a woodland effect. Again, it may be a symbolic garden, suggestive of Buddhist teachings, or it may be a realistic garden with quite natural landscapes. Or…it may be a garden to be viewed from a static position…and to induce meditation, or it may be a stroll garden in which one can admire a succession of changing views as he walks along its paths.”
