What is the Main Purpose of Japanese Gardens?

In this video I going to talk a bit about why Japanese gardens are important and what purposes do they serve.
One of the main purposes of a Japanese garden is to bring harmony between nature and our busy daily lives. It is a space that celebrates the natural landscape together with human being’s creativity. A great garden may have a calming effect or it could also be an exhilarating experience. It may seem like a completely natural scene, but nothing happens in a Japanese garden that is unplanned...

I’ve created a house and garden that I call Japallachian, fusing some Japanese design elements with Appalachian materials, plants and styles.

[@ShizenStyle]

That sounds like a very cool concept! The best Japanese gardens work with their native environments so I'm sure you'll make something original.

I’m curious where does bonsai come in ? Beyond an indoor hobby what is the connection to pruning trees in the Japanese garden, is this where bonsai gets its roots ?

[@ShizenStyle]

Hi, so the bonsai doesn't really play a role in the Japanese garden itself. As you mentioned, it's more of a hobby to sculpt, prune, and train the branches into an artistic shape. Sometimes creating a mini scene that can be displayed inside or outside, depending on the season. The pruning and trimming of the branches and leaves are similar but the Japanese garden trees don't get their roots trimmed or branches wired. Aesthetically they might look similar sometimes, but that's about it.

[@madethought-gj1br]

@@ShizenStyle thank you so much for the clarification, I’m guessing such as maple trees , where pruning is done to show the branches.
