The first manual for the Japanese garden, the Sakuteiki, describes the laying out of gardens as: Ishi wo taten koto (\u77f3\u3092\u7acb\u3066\u3093\u4e8b). This means the upright placement of stones, which strongly emphasizes the important role of these elements within the Japanese garden.<\/p>\n
The correct application of garden stones, Niwaishi (garden stones) in Japanese, forms the basis of practically every Japanese garden. The placement of stones and rocks is almost always determined first, after which the garden is formed together with all the elements surrounding it. Because of this, stones and rocks are also known as the Kikotsu (\u6c17\u9aa8), or backbone, of the Japanese garden.<\/p>\n
An authentic Japanese garden should mimic a certain natural essence. Stones and rocks are a significant part of this principle since they concern pure elements, coming directly from nature.<\/p>\n
Hirukawa is an authentic Japanese granite from the village of Hirukawa, which has been part of the city of Nakatsugawa in Gifu Prefecture since 2005. Hirukawa granite is very often used in Japanese gardens for elements such as stone lanterns, Ch\u014dzubachi, and bridges. But as garden stone, the granite variety is also particularly suitable.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
