In Japan the courtyard garden is regarded as an area for relaxation, peace and ease of mind. The courtyard gardens of Kyoto were once a necessity for light and ventilation in the long narrow homes found there. Like those found in modern Japan, our Japanese courtyard garden is an important piece of function art. The focal point of this garden is a carefully selected and hand carved stone water basin. Located in the center of the house, with glass on all four sides this garden deserves the attention it gets.
There is a number of possibilities when creating an indoor garden and a Japanese courtyard garden is a good place to start with your consideration when studying them.
