The ‘Bad’ Stones In Japanese Gardens

Hi,

Thanks for reading my blog again. Today I want to post once again about stones in Japanese gardens. I have been talking about Stones and their meaning in some recent posts but did you know that there are types of ‘Bad’ stones that should never be used in a Japanese garden?

Well, there are! They can be put into essentially 3 categories:

1)The Diseased Stone- these are withered stones or maybe have a misshapen top

2)The Dead Stone-this is stone that is obviously a vertical one used as a horizontal one, or vice versa.

3)The Pauper Stone-this is a stone that has no connection to the other stones in the garden.

That’s it for today, don’t forget I am looking for your feedback for researching my new Japanese garden manual and you can click on my survey on the right hand side of this blog- it’s a light blue link. thanks in advance.

Have a good day.
