When I was young I lived in an area of Sydney, Australia, where there was a Japanese garden nearby. I used to love going down there 😊 I imagine the gardens in Japan are much better though, but they are a very unique experience none the less.
@@wareforcoin5780That's really cool! I moved to an island called Tasmania (not sure how familiar people are with Australia) and lived in a city called Launceston for a number of years. I believe they are sister cities with Nagoya. The city was gifted a large number of Sakura trees and the blooms were absolutely gorgeous 😍 An interesting tid bit, you could always tell if you were going to have a long summer by the time of year when the cherry blossoms would bloom. If they blossomed in August then it would be loooong and hot hahaha
When I lived in Kyoto I was within easy distance of ryoanji, so I spent a long time there. I will forever remember when one day I was looking at it for about two hours when suddenly the scale changed and the rocks became mountains. It was wonderful. I highly recommend staying there for much longer than the normal tourist route.
Ryoan-ji Temple gardens (entire temple complex) for the win! While the stone and rock layout is great it is the WALL that mesmerizes me. Got to be one of most sublime places on Earth
If you live in Florida there's a huge Japanese Garden called Morikami Museum. Highly recommend US Shogo fans to check it out if traveling to Japan is too far.
I'm so happy to find a video like this. Japanese gardening techniques or patterns and bonsai was a large part of my upbringing and it is probably what sparked my interest in Japanese culture.
I appreciate that he tells us to adjust the playback speed but sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. I listen to Shogo as I'm getting ready for work or at the end of the day after work cause he's so calming and the slower speed is more comprehensible for my tired brain.
@@XV__MACHOMAN I think that some people have given him the feed back that he speaks to slowly for their liking so he is being pre-emptive for those that what to listen to someone speak faster by upping the play back speed
I was very lucky to grow up in St. Louis where their Botanical Gardens collection has one of the largest Daimyo gardens outside of Japan. For me, my favorite aspect was the Zen and Tea ceremony gardens that resided within. My father taught horticulture and my mother, flower design, and i would often go with his classes yearly to this botanical collection but the japanese garden was always my favourite (when i was able to wonder by myself, I would spend the entire time there). At a young age i enjoyed the aesthetics of these gardens and really found peace and tranquility whenever i visited.
My favourite is the Edo type garden, because then I don't actually have to choose but can greedily have it all ;) I think the first "Japanese" garden I saw was mimicking the Edo type too. I don't remember it clearly since I was a kid, but there were definitely both a large pond and a tiny tea room. The whole thing was however kind of miniature replica, built inside a great greenhouse in a commercial garden. You could visit it for a few coins, enter from one end of the long pond, walk along one side of it to the tea room at the other end and then away again along the other side of the pond. I have no idea if it was anywhere near accurate since I was rather small and hadn't even heard about Japanese gardens before. I just remember it was a totally magical experience, like stepping into a fairytale, and I wouldn't have wanted to leave at all. It's still a very dear memory decades later.
i was doing an investigation on traditional architecture in japan some years ago. I read in a Japanese literature, that karensansui, was also mean to illuminate the spaces adjacent to them,. The white stones would lighten up the roof by reflection of the sun naturally
I was fortunate enough to visit the Tokugawa Garden during my visit to Japan a few years back. I've learned now it's an Edo style garden, and walking through it was truly an amazing experience.
I've spent the past week watching your channel to learn about Japanese culture. I respect you and your team so much. I really enjoy the way that you present the various topics. 💙💙💙
Adelaide has a beautiful Japanese Garden it has both the zen garden and flowing water, its circular and scenery changes as you move. I love it. The 5th one is what we have here
Again, what a great Video. Honestly, I can‘t decide which type of garden I prefer. I would love to visit every kind of them. And literally everyone of them.
I think my favorite would be the Heian. I love water so the idea of floating in the middle of a peaceful garden writing poetry sounds amazing. Although, I do really love the idea of the tea garden having plants everywhere what block out the city hustle and bustle and give a secluded peaceful space.
I kinda like them all but I really enjoy gardens in general. Though Tea gardens sound the nicest to me. A place that well take out out of the real world and into another place sounds really nice.
Again Shogo-San you bring out this intriguing information describing the different gardens. I like the 5th one, Daimyo and Gardens. Thank you for this video.
for myself it would have to be a Zen garden. To allow your mind thoughts to flow out in relaxation and then to allow the garden in the place of those thoughts. So relaxing.
Thank you for the garden knowledge and tour. Japan has not been static since 1868, there have been huge changes, yet you did not talk about what's going on in garden design since then. I note that one of the periods you named only lasted 32 years, so there has been plenty of time for new developments. Thank you, David
I love the last type of garden. I prefer the different aesthetics, and depending on my mood/state of mind, I think having both water to listen to, or no noise at all, would be great. Also, an area for a tea ceremony which whisks you away to a secluded spot would be great.
If any one watching this is from Virginia and you would like to see a Japanese style garden there is one in Richmond at Maymont. It's free entry. It does not seem as impressive as the ones shown in the video but it's a lovely spot to spend some time in Richmond.
I remember the first time I saw a Karesansui garden it was in the movie Cars 2. It's so cool to know the name of such an iconic part of Japanese culture.
WOW absolutely love your video!!! Extremely unique (compared to the other videos I've watched on Japan - I've become a bit obsessed with everything & anything that's Japanese related) ; awesome the way you broke it down in different eras; displaying a map - indicating the location you talking about etc etc... Those 'tiny' details that so many of the other creators omit (& I've watched the Netflix "The Art of Samurai' 3 times bc I thought I was missing the details). I've just stumbled on your channel (while searching on history of Japanese Gardens) and your video from start to finish is totally SUBLIME!! Believe me I've been watching / skipping thru videos ALL day today! In my humble opinion, YOU are a TRUE MASTER @ your Craft (if you dont mind me saying)! Going to binge watch all your other videos hope they as this one! Since I haven't seen your other videos, hope you have something on the Samurai's would love to see your take on the subject. Many, many, many thanks for your video. Deeply appreciated. Kindest regards from South Africa! 🇿🇦
thank you so much! i have been waiting for this! i just adore Japanese gardens, they are so beautiful. i have a request, could you dive deeper into the gardens and explain how the rocks and sand have different meanings if made in a specific way? and could you explain the plants chosen in more detail and why? thank you!
Hi Shogo, great to see some content about gardens on your channel! Please do more! I have visited many gardens in Kyoto, but my personal favorite is the one in the thumbnail, Enkoji, the dragon in the rock garden is amazing!
Many years ago, I visited the Ryōan-ji stone and sand garden. I remember just sitting down on the edge and gazing, until my Japanese friend asked if I was ready to go. I could have sat far longer.
The Roji is my favorite, then any of the strolling gardens that mimic wilderness. Hence my interest in gosho-zakashi style, which I have a really hard time finding more info on 😢
How would you recommend getting started with Japanese musical instruments? I really want to learn the tsugaru shamisen and the shakuhachi but I don't know where to start

What is interesting is that gardens were considered a craft rather than an art. Rarely are any of the famous gardens in Japan accredited to an "artist" who created them, so while they were enjoyed by aristocrats and samurai, they didn't enjoy the same elevated position of painting or poetry, for example.
But are there any gardens specializing in bonsai trees? I was thinking of visiting Japan one day, just to see some of the many gardens. I would hire French translators at certain points, since my mother tongue is French and I foresee that many places will have signs in Japanese only.
One question i have about japan is : if japanese work so hard , some work 10 hours a day , and do real work .... than how come not there are a ton of rich japanese ? and the japanese rich are not one of the most rich ? i mean if there is a country where everyone works so hard , and has high tech , than shouldnt they be extremely rich ?

We have a whole Japanese tea house in Minnesota. St. Paul is a sister city with Nagasaki! 😃
@@wareforcoin5780That's really cool! I moved to an island called Tasmania (not sure how familiar people are with Australia) and lived in a city called Launceston for a number of years. I believe they are sister cities with Nagoya. The city was gifted a large number of Sakura trees and the blooms were absolutely gorgeous 😍 An interesting tid bit, you could always tell if you were going to have a long summer by the time of year when the cherry blossoms would bloom. If they blossomed in August then it would be loooong and hot hahaha
this video is perfectly timed. i was just working on desinging my japanese inspired garden 5 minutes again
When I lived in Kyoto I was within easy distance of ryoanji, so I spent a long time there. I will forever remember when one day I was looking at it for about two hours when suddenly the scale changed and the rocks became mountains. It was wonderful. I highly recommend staying there for much longer than the normal tourist route.

4 and 5 are my favorites. I love the tea garden but I’m fascinated by the 5th one because you can experience all the gardens in one.

Those _karesansui_ sand gardens are my personal favorite, look exotic and practical
*Perfect video my friend, I really enjoyed it!* 👌👌😎😎✅✅
i was doing an investigation on traditional architecture in japan some years ago. I read in a Japanese literature, that karensansui, was also mean to illuminate the spaces adjacent to them,. The white stones would lighten up the roof by reflection of the sun naturally
This is one of my highlights of visiting Japan, the gardens, they're so beautiful it's almost overwhelming
I want to go to Japan! Be my tour guide!! Unfortunately I don’t see it in my future so at least I have these videos 🥲
cool japanese gardens. didn't know there were different types. nice.
I love the sun up on the end! Thank you for the upload
I was fortunate enough to visit the Tokugawa Garden during my visit to Japan a few years back. I've learned now it's an Edo style garden, and walking through it was truly an amazing experience.

Very interesting topic indeed. Personally, I like the garden style of Heian Period with the beautiful ponds. But, tea gardens are beautiful too.
I like them all!! once explained each garden has its merit!
There's a few Japanese gardens in Minnesota that I absolutely love.
Kinda want to try to make one some year
I kinda like them all but I really enjoy gardens in general. Though Tea gardens sound the nicest to me. A place that well take out out of the real world and into another place sounds really nice.

Beautiful
I've always been curious about those sand garden things.
In New York State, there is circular-type called Innisfree Garden in Millbrook. Worth the trip, devastatingly gorgeous in late spring.
Hi Shogo, great to see some content about gardens on your channel! Please do more! I have visited many gardens in Kyoto, but my personal favorite is the one in the thumbnail, Enkoji, the dragon in the rock garden is amazing!
I like the Edo period because it incorporates all the different types from the earlier periods.
I Liked The Zen Gardens Of Kamakura and Muromachi Periods however I liked them all.
It's the Zen Gardens for me, so the Kamakura and Muromachi periods 💚
Many years ago, I visited the Ryōan-ji stone and sand garden. I remember just sitting down on the edge and gazing, until my Japanese friend asked if I was ready to go. I could have sat far longer.
Thanks!
Babe wake up a new Shogo video dropped
There are Japanese gardens in Santiago of Chile and Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Embassies donated them (as far as I know :-)
The Roji is my favorite, then any of the strolling gardens that mimic wilderness. Hence my interest in gosho-zakashi style, which I have a really hard time finding more info on 😢
How would you recommend getting started with Japanese musical instruments? I really want to learn the tsugaru shamisen and the shakuhachi but I don't know where to start
As a (western) flute player I’ve wanted to learn the shakuhachi for a while as well. I really hope he does a video on this…
Anyone else bow to Shogo when he bows at the beginning? I know I don't have to, but I feel like I should to show respect.

I am partial to the Zen Garden as I follow the way of Soto Zen.
Always wondered what those sand garden things were.
What is interesting is that gardens were considered a craft rather than an art. Rarely are any of the famous gardens in Japan accredited to an "artist" who created them, so while they were enjoyed by aristocrats and samurai, they didn't enjoy the same elevated position of painting or poetry, for example.
You're pretty cool shogo
👍
I have a question how come in the beginning of videos it says to speed up the videos?
Where you born in Japan your English is amazing
But are there any gardens specializing in bonsai trees? I was thinking of visiting Japan one day, just to see some of the many gardens. I would hire French translators at certain points, since my mother tongue is French and I foresee that many places will have signs in Japanese only.
I always thought the Karesansui gardens use sand to trace intruders leaving foot marks.. 🤔🤔🤔

Hey Shogo this is completely unrelated to the video but I want to know if a foreigner can become a police officer in Japan

Shogo: so if you plan to visit Japan...
Japanese government: nononono. No. No. No.
