Colorful Garden with pond

The Pond
The pond in the Japanese garden usually takes the form of some pond in nature reproduced in reduced scale. Consequently the con­structed pond mostly shows its complicated shore lines.

When the planting work is added to it, the shore line is hidden here and there and gives the depth to the scenery reminding us that of nature.

The Pond

Many of the ponds in the Japanese garden recently designed have works of modern formative art while keeping empasis on the nature's way as before. A good example is the use of cut stones in order to bring about the mood of straight lines.

Associating with modern architecture, the pond can be built on the top of building as well as inside the room. There is a new idea and practice of the modernization of the early Japanese style of pondalso.
