Japan is considered one of the most exotic, ancient and spiritually rich
countries in the world. In Japanese culture, Gardens occupy a special place – a
philosophical-moral concept of the universe and a special type of art that skillfully
harmonizes the natural beauty of the landscape. Guests of the” self-Center " MKM have
a unique opportunity to visit a real Japanese garden, created in the best traditions of the
country of Sunrise. It is believed that through the beauty of nature, a person knows
himself, and his thinking has a noble effect on the world of the human soul. In the
process of building a Japanese garden, according to Oriental legends, many centuries-
old trees with living spirit and energy were preserved. Also on the territory of the garden
there are sakura trees - decorative cherries, the observation of their flowering is an
integral part of Japanese culture.
There is a special art of stone laying in the land of the Rising Sun, which is
known as Sute-Ishi. The Japanese believe that by following the example of Buddhist
monks and thinking about a stone garden, it is possible to influence the innermost
secrets of the universe, know one's own soul and achieve wisdom. The "Sekitei" garden,
located on the territory of the Japanese garden, was created in accordance with the
traditions of the 14th century of the Zen Buddhist era. Carefully selected and correctly
placed stones form compositions full of deep philosophical meaning, which attract

those who seek natural peace and tranquility. The Japanese garden, started by the First
Temple Gardens founded by Buddhist monks and pilgrims, gradually began to form a
whole beautiful and complex system of art. In 794, the Japanese capital was moved
from Nara to Kyoto. The first Gardens looked like places for holidays, games and
concerts under the open sky. The gardens of this period are a unique decoration. They
are planted with many flowering trees (plum, cherry), musculature, as well as climbing
Glycinia plants. However, Japan also has unkempt gardens created from stone and sand.
In artistic design, they look like abstract paintings. The Japanese Garden symbolizes
the perfect world of nature on Earth and sometimes acts as the embodiment of the
Universe. Characteristic elements of his composition are artificial mountains and hills,
islands, rivers and waterfalls, sand or gravel paths and places decorated with stones of
an unusual shape. The landscape of the garden is formed by trees, shrubs, bamboos,
grasses, beautifully flowering plants and mosses. The formation of the foundations of
Japanese gardening took place under the influence of the evolution of Japanese
architecture as well as the religious-philosophical ideas of the Japanese nobility.
Initially, the garden was an integral part of aristocratic residences, but was later
borrowed by Buddhist monasteries and noble samurai. Since the 19th century, it has
become widespread among the Japanese commoners and an integral part of many
private houses. The construction of Japanese-style gardens in the 20th century also
became popular outside Japan. The three most famous parks in Japan are traditionally
Kenroku-en (Kanazawa), Koraku-en (Okayama), and Kayraku-en (Mito).
In a Japanese Garden, the placement of composite units is carried out
according to the relief so that they form a whole. The system of placement of elements
is based on the laws of nature, transformed into the laws of harmony, implemented and
developed in the process of long analysis of natural and artificial analogs. The approach
to the placement of elements depends on the purpose of creating a garden: to enjoy
thinking in static mode, when viewing points are moving inside and outside pavilions,
in a boat or around a reservoir, surrounded by bright pictures that are often exchanged.
Blue tea and Japanese tea – these sound like meaningless with each other.
Blue tea is considered the most popular drink in Japan and a piece of values, again
seeing it as good for health as well. The presence of freshly brewed blue tea on the table
after a meal has become commonplace in a sunflower land. In Japan, varieties differ
depending on the variety of tea production, drying, and other processes involved, or the

taste, color, flavor, aroma of the tea. Sencha is the most commonly consumed type of
tea in Japan. It is made only from young tea leaves. Tea leaves are picked, washed,
steamed, and then dried. Matcha tea, which is characterized by its lush greenery, is
grown in the shade. With this, the aim is to increase the caffeine content and natural
flavor in the tea. As soon as the harvest is picked, the matcha is brought to the state of
powder and becomes the main participant in Japanese tea ceremonies. At the same time,
due to its delicate color, matcha varietal tea remains one of the main drinks in modern
Japanese cuisines. Various studies conducted have proven that blue tea lowers high
blood pressure, is useful in cancer and heart disease. Constantly drinking blue tea
protects against heart disease. In addition, blue tea also helps brain function well. It has
also been studied by scientists for the nerve-calming properties of blue tea and its
reduced risk of diabetes. There may not be a person who has not heard of the Japanese
tea ceremony. It was a tradition organized in a separate tea room, and the main purpose
of organizing it was to show favor to the guest and help him feel a different atmosphere,
albeit a little from his usual life. Nowadays, tea ceremonies have become a hobby and
a means of welcoming tourists. Such ceremonies are organized in traditional Japanese
gardens, hotels, or tea culture centers. Usually, formal tea ceremonies end with a cup
of bitter and a cup of lightly brewed tea.
To attend the ceremony, first of all, it is necessary to choose a suitable outfit
for it. In this, it is considered advisable to choose clothes that are not too stylish and
quickly conspicuous, but modest and free from jewelry. Typically, the tea ceremony is
held in gardens or garden-covered buildings. This environment was also chosen to
stabilize a person's mental state. A well will be installed at the entrance to the room
where the ceremony will take place, and the arriving guests will wash their hands from
it and then go inside.
