Stones and trees are the timeless natural elements of The Japanese garden landscape, and they exude a unique charm both in the idyllic landscape and in the famous garden landscape.
Recently, Cao Yi, executive chief planner of Huayang International Planning and Design Institute, and UMENO SEIHO, a famous gardener in Kyoto, Japan, once again came to the live broadcast room of China Flower News, and in the second lecture of the Japanese garden lecture series, they shared the charm of stones and trees.
"The garden is not only for people to appreciate, but also for people to feel the relationship between nature and human beings, history and present, and people and people." Whether in Japan or China, the garden is a philosophical space. Ueno said that the trees in this one meet people's yearning and pursuit of nature. Trees make up a rich landscape of nature and are able to express the changes of different seasons.
In Nagaoka-kyo, Ueno's hometown, the idyllic rural landscape has been preserved, with scattered cherry blossom trees that bring the entire natural landscape to life.

"The Great Compassion Temple is even more mysterious in the shadow of trees and green mountains, where Premier Zhou Enlai wrote 'After the Rain's Mountain'." Ueno gives a few representative examples of the Kirishima rhododendron, which has become an iconic plant in Katsuragi Palace and Hachijo Pond. The Wisteria in Shirai Omachi Fuji Park in Hyogo Prefecture is famous for being the premier wisteria park in Western Japan.

The eternal shape of the stone is opposed to the trees that change in the four seasons, and is often used to express the sound of the land, the mystery of the earth, and the object of faith.
Ueno believes that there is an inner breath in the stone, which can be endowed with spirituality through construction techniques. For example, Kyoto Jiashuien, Tokushima Prefecture Honraku-ji Temple, Kyoto Zenho-ji Temple all use stones to express the sound of the land; Kyoto's Tanbacho Kotoshi and Shirasai Waterfall in Shizuoka Prefecture express the mystery of the earth with the fusion of stone and water; Places such as Kasaji Temple in Kyoto Prefecture and Nichimiura in Mie Prefecture use stone as the object of worship.

"The stone is a cosmic cycle through the wind and rain, after hundreds of millions of years of existence, for the Japanese garden to paint a strong stroke. At the same time, the stone is also a symbol of status and status. Just like the unique shape of the tortoiseshell pile stone, the construction process requirements are extremely high, and the price is quite expensive. Ueno said.
According to Ueno, the charm of stone and tree lies in nature, and that they are not just matter, but also the existence of a universe that expands various connections and spontaneously produces cyclical reincarnation.
