Explore Japan: The Alluring Beauty of Japanese Gardens
Frenchman Emmanuel Marès meets experts at famous gardens in Kyoto, to explore the unique aesthetic of Japanese gardens. First, he visits Saiho-ji Temple, nicknamed "moss temple" because its garden features over 120 types of moss. He speaks with modern-day priests to learn more about its connection to Zen philosophy.
Next, Marès heads to Shoden-ji Temple, which takes up the “borrowed scenery” that incorporates a mountain as a spectacular backdrop for its garden. What is the fascination of the garden of the borrowed scenery that rock star David Bowie often visited and was deeply moved?
His third destination is Kennin-ji Temple, where the rooms overlooking the garden feature famous folding screens and fusuma paintings. In one of the rooms, the temple commissioned a new fusuma painting by an artist who incorporated dyeing techniques into her paintings, creating a masterpiece of modern art, collaborating with the garden scenery.
First aired on NHK WORLD-JAPAN/jibtv on 2021/12/24.

Very interesting. Thank you. I am planning to create a new Japanese garden. My first one called Kikiyaya Zen Garden in The Netherlands (2011) and soon commencing New Kikiyaya Gardens in Cambodia.
I think Japan us the most beautiful country on earth. Their pagodas were built without nails! Their bridges without nails! Everything is done with such care. What is utilitarian is also aesthetically pleasing. Respect for the wisdom of elders… The sheer beauty of their textiles! How harmonious is the kimono in the context of a garden? It shines like a jewel in the simplicity of their homes. The Japanese are a complex and paradoxical people, and their country and aesthetic is GORGEOUS!

Thank you for mentioning the fact that Japanese people are complicated & paradoxical. I noticed also cruelty. In Japan beauty & creativity, implementation, carrying out & performance are sublime and adorable. Thank you so much for the exceptional video.
19:54 I'm more relaxed listening to meditation and gong sounds of Japan than christian music I grew up listening to. I feel more at peace with nature in Buddhism and Shintoism 🇵🇼❤️🇯🇵🙏⛩️
I don't know why but every time I see Japanese zen gardens, musics, I find myself in peace, from deep inside I hear "I am Home" ❤
Grazie di averci mostrato tanta bellezza, armonia, gentilezza e serenità Il Giappone è davvero un interesse positivo
Watching this video was such an emotional experience for me. During our two trips to Japan, we visited many Japanese gardens.. In our current home, I dedicated the front yard to the landscaping of my own Japanese garden, so inspired by all of the beauty and peace in nature when we were there. Thank you for teaching people about these beautiful places. They are the treasures of our planet.

Japanese gardens always tire me out, and their designers love to capture extreme moments of nature in their gardens. It is not as relaxing as the design of Chinese gardens.

Japanese gardens are sometimes like a combination of Chinese gardens and Western gardens.
no words can come close to the messages the gardens convey, thx so very much
What a gift you have given us... thank you!
Heavenly... Japanese maple trees are dreamy.
Thank you for sharing this video, I love all about japan, especially how they respect and connect with the nature, through this video i can feel their beauty and peace. something that you cant see even if you go there as a tourist. it wouldnt be the same feeling, as it would packed with people
Can't get enough of the serenity and beauty of the scenery.
Unbelievable beauty.
A small but very beautiful garden.
Absolutely beautiful. What an amazing legacy of beauty. This man has a passion that he is sharing. Thank you.
While watching this video on Japanese gardens, it somehow makes me more aware of Gardens in general gardens can be anything you make it I like I like Japanese gardens are so beautiful tranquil And peaceful all of the same time
That was Beautiful, gardens can take many forms……
The bottom of her painting, the rippling water makes me think of a Van Gogh sky full of flying birds. 🙂
Very beautiful, its amazing to know in 13th century, when in India small small kingdoms fighting with each other & no sense of creating something like this, of unique gardens. Thats why Japs are way ahead of India in many ways. This is the reason they have outstanding gardens everywhere,Great.! I admire their civilization.!
Excellent video Monsieur Marès! Thank you!
Amazing..Thank You very much for sharing

Outstanding!
This video shows the beauty of Saihoji very well. I visited it this April and love it. This video shows the upper garden beyond the Kojokan where I couldn’t go up. I saw Karesansui gardens which I learned from the book. I wish I could see the inside of tee houses.
Such give the feeling that I need to visit Japan to connect closer to my spirit ❤

Wonderful. Thank you so much for posting. Much love
Обажаю Японскую культуру.
You need partnerships 190 countries world wide friends, Mother Earth's asking us gardening and build up oxygen factories, everybody must live in such paradise gardens from now on, including industrial companies, airports and.. urban areas, still the best deal for most people healing from depression or addiction or lack of any other job or inmates in jail, everybody can heal by getting back this symbiotic relationship with Mother Nature

Emptiness of society, I take that as a correct explanation of the world noise. Peace in quite nature needs to be encouraged. It will help to reflect on our being, our Creator The Father.

ゆっくり拝聴させていただきました。 無いものねだりでしょうか? 西洋にないものに価値観を抱き美を見出す。 逆に西洋の美に恋い焦がれ美を見出す。 でも、それでよいと考えます、お互いをリスペクトできる心が美しく争いを消去すると考えます。 お互いの知らないことを感じそして共感を得て配信されていればよいのかな❓ 禅の世界を楽しんでください。
Gad damn this shit is fawking so awesome!
everything about Japan is fascinating... while watching this video it felt like no one lives around here... maybe all Japanese have moved to Tokyo and all these relics from the past are being preserved and revered by a few... humans have been pushed away so these precious artifacts could be groomed and saved

But would you really want rebirth in this reality, what if there was a greater reality after this one, and this one was simply a special school we need to learn and grow through before we are ready to ascend to the next?
Nice video, could have done without the French guy.
The horrible image quality ruins it all.
disappointed ... was expecting more garden and less humanity ... ( just my thoughts ... )
People also need to understand many of these Japanese gardens are designed on the edge of forest as a buffer zone. To assume these gardens are beneficial to organisms is false and misleading. There are permaculture designs that help increase organisms where many of these designs kill the habitat for beneficial organisms as well as deplete soil and surroundings of important nutrients. It is for design not for nature do not confuse them, beauty should be seen in nature not seen in the fight against it.

You don't know difference between garden and forest.
My first impression was "Wow, the scruffy homeless guy really makes a good balance against the immaculate gardens."
Toba's work brings a terrible artificial ...virus-like colour into what was a natural fukei. Nope.
