Plants in the Japanese Garden Vol. 2（日本庭園 植物 Vol.2）
Exploring additional plant species used in Japanese gardens and urban greenery
Plants continue to be a core feature of both traditional and modern Japanese gardens. In this second volume, we introduce more key plant species that shape the look and feel of outdoor spaces across Japan.
While not every plant listed here is typical in the most formal Japanese gardens, each one plays an important role in the wider Japanese landscape. Many are visible in temples, parks, private homes, and public paths.
This collection expands on Volume 1, offering a deeper look into the plants you’ll often find in Japanese urban green spaces. Some of these are valued for their blossoms, while others are chosen for their texture or seasonal colour.
For instance, azaleas, ferns, and ornamental grasses bring variety and rhythm to any garden. Moreover, their use reflects both aesthetic decisions and centuries of horticultural practice.
Whether you’re planning a Japanese-style garden or simply enjoy learning about plants in Japan, this volume provides practical insight and inspiration.
