Japanese garden - create your own oasis of peace and harmony

Harmonious and stylish. Japanese gardens combine stone, sand, water, and plants in a way that reminds us of nature. The result? An oasis that can fill you with peace.,Japanese gardens are often minimalist and simple, but they come in many variations, from zen gardens created by monks in the 14th century to gardens designed to be viewed from a distance – like a painting. The underlying idea is to mimic rural nature and recreate elements like rivers and mountains on a smaller scale.,When Japan opened up to the world in the 19th century, Japanese gardens quickly spread to the West. One of the first Japanese gardens outside of Japan was created by the Swedish gardener Rudolf Abelin in Norrvikens gardens in Bråstad, Sweden. Today, we find Japanese gardens in many places, often as parts of larger parks.
