Japanese garden is never done, it's always a work in progress. The basic framework to get started consists of textures, colors, and foliage indigenous to Japan. These gardens work well on any scale, from using the entire yard to building a small Zen corner for a quiet retreat. Try bamboo hedging to accent a large tree or isolate your Japanese section.
