  • Traditionally, Japanese gardening has been the domain of men, especially Zen Buddhist monks.   In the distant past, gardening was considered to be a form of meditation, and the creation of a garden another form of meditation.  Today gardening in Japan is typically outsourced to landscaping companies, with armies of hedge clippers, weed pullers, and sweepers who visit a garden periodically for maintenance.  A few Zen Buddhist monks still practice gardening, but usually more as a form of recreation than of meditation.

  • Yanaka Cemetery Garden and Grave Supplies - Yanaka Cemetery - While most people might find a trip to a cemetery to be unconventional, but the vast cemetery surrounding Tennoji Temple is a favorite spot for cherry blossom viewing in April and maple leaf viewing in November.   Yanaka Cemetery which surrounds Tennoji was once a part of Tennoji temple.  The Meiji government confiscated Tennoji's cemetery and made it public, a move which was never changed.  Many of the tombs are elaborately decorated and nicely landscaped. Paths are well kept and wide.  The grave of Tokugawa Yoshinobu, Japan’s last shogun, is buried within the cemetery.   On the edges of the cemetery large farmhouses that resemble garden supply shops are present, they are however, for visitors to buy flowers, buckets. brooms  and other utensils to tidy up their loved ones graves
