Zen Principles of Japanese Garden Design | 7 Design Tips

[@nunyabiznes4471]

I have read about 10 books on various Japanese gardens, styles, history. I have also watched about 100 KZbin videos on Japanese gardens. This was the best and most informative as to the principles of the garden. Excellent video! I subscribed.

[@ShizenStyle]

Thanks so much for that! I'm glad it connected with you.

[@nunyabiznes4471]

@@ShizenStyle it absolutely did! I live on nearly nine acres, and I’ve incorporated Japanese garden elements throughout my property. Right now I’m doing a Japanese inspired fire pit area. I’m doing the pondless waterfall area now, then I’m done. I’m happy I’ve gotten a lot of the aspects right, by incorporating the copious stone on my property, water elements, authentic Japanese lanterns. I needed peace in my life these past two years.

[@MuhammadSohail-ln9dj]

@@nunyabiznes4471could you share the most helpful books and videos you’ve learned from please? Interested in getting into this area myself.

[@Gilian.M]

​@@nunyabiznes4471 can you tell me more about the books you read? Im in search for some good formative japanese cultural books about there gardens and homes in general.

[@nunyabiznes4471]

@@Gilian.M oh also look up the North American Japanese garden association. It’s a good resource. Search Japanese gardens where you live, some of the public ones are good. If you join the North American Japanese garden association you can go on private tours and events.

Zen gardens, Zen decor, Zen... is where people should start when they have found contentment, happy with themselves and comfortable in their own skin. The starting-point of appreciating the finer things in life after education of many types and areas, skill-experiences, careers, achievements, hobbies, ...

Zen in the West is a Myth. It has been hijacked from the original. Nichiren dictionary reaffirms "The Zen teaching was summarized in these phrases attributed to Bodhidharma: “A separate transmission outside the sutras,” “independent of words or writing,” “directly pointing to the human mind,”

[@maryland9987]

Wow! Thank you. The best video I’ve ever watched. I’m in love with these principles.

[@ShizenStyle]

Thank you so much! I'm glad the content resonated with you. Have a great day!

[@user-iy1xv4ir4s]

Totally agree 👍 I had no idea about these principles, but this video was so informative and helpful !

[@brendamont-stran7518]

Thank you so much for the education last night. I am in the process of building a Japanese garden and this gave me meaning and understanding. I am building this with much intention and love so I hope I can bring all of this to my little space. I am so happy to have found your channel. Much Kindness and gratitude.

[@ShizenStyle]

If your intention is there I'm sure you'll end up with your own creative and healing garden. It will be an ongoing process that becomes a part of your life to continuously enjoy.

[@mess9681]

I so hope I can create something before I lose my mind and thoughts . I would then love to set down my mind in a NIWA designed and made by me for me. only then can I descend into that tranquility and solitude and be able to enjoy .... uh. I should get going that was so beautifully relayed . a good teacher makes you feel like you know the stuff already and its just a reminder. but you don't really. stimulated enthused. thanks

[@sethgaston8347]

Thanks bruv.

[@georgeobrientheroninrealto2693]

I will be transforming my backyard into a Japanese Garden or Niwa soon. Thank you for the video! My goal is to create a Roji since I currently have a 10x10 stucco w/tile roofing gazebo in my yard that will be made into a teahouse.

[@ShizenStyle]

Sounds great! I talk a little bit about the Roji style in this video too: 4 Types of Japanese Garden Design- kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJLTcqVjfq5-pZI Good like with the teahouse, the roji garden sounds like it would fit perfectly.

[@vierastupakova9237]

Excellent and beautiful - you talking about gardens as about wonderful person - all this principle could fit to any of us :-) Thank you for sharing - I subscribe. The video help me to think about my own garden - and how to create space not so obvious and without surprise

[@ShizenStyle]

So nice of you! I'm glad I could help you develop your garden space.

[@Seadog9511]

Great video, starting to design our humble garden today!

[@ShizenStyle]

Have fun!

[@DanielMacaluso]

Great video. I'm doing research on a painting that I need to do of a garden. This really helped to give me a better understanding of the elements of garden design, rather than just painting what I thought looked cool. Just subbed. keep going man.

[@ShizenStyle]

Thanks for that! I hope I can help you go a little deeper on the subject and you can find your creative expression of the garden.

[@dxdx5638]

Thank you for your video. I greatly appreciate it, i wonder if i could reapply the same design principle - but with a tropical plants and trees in a hot and humid climate

[@ShizenStyle]

Yes, absolutely. Have a look at my video on the Morikami Museum, there you can see some examples of them making it work in Florida, a sub-tropical climate I believe.

[@DanielLeone4]

spelt solitude wrong at 5:46. you spelt it 'solitide'

[@ShizenStyle]

Good eyes, thanks.

[@terrencegibbons3351]

Sublte use of imagination. Natural without pretense.

[@l3af3v3r]

俗 zoku: Though less emphasized in Japanese culture than Chinese, it supposedly has a larger meaning than just routine, more of a mundaneness and average mediocre lowbrowness is closer to the meaning, if I may humbly suggest. So 脫俗 datsuzoku means out of this mundane mediocre mess, into something more profound. 🦊🐱🐷

[@ShizenStyle]

Thanks for sharing your insight!

[@sbh1311]

One cannot focus with this intrusive music

[@ShizenStyle]

I believe that music sets the atmosphere, but the volume may have been a little too high on this one.

[@sbh1311]

Just loose the instrusive irritating music

[@ShizenStyle]

I think music helps set the atmosphere. Sorry you didn't like it.
