I've just come across a couple of Japanese woodblock pictures that people may find useful as examples of Japanese garden layouts, so I've added them my album at PBase -

Re: Useful Japanese woodblocks
Hi Bert,
They look really good.
You are tempting me to get my paints out again.

Another useful picture?
Pictures really are, very often, worth a thousand words so here's another one. This isn't a woodblock, but a photograph. I don't know who took it, and I hope that the photographer won't take me to task for infringing his copyright, but what attracts me to it is that there isn't a single Japanese artifact to be seen - no lantern, no red Torii Arch or bridge, no tsukubai - and yet - to my eyes it looks quite Japanese and an ideal view to have from inside your house. What do you think of it?

Hi Bert
It has that sense of peacefulness/tranquility that sits at the heart of a true Japanese Garden.
I like it

Re: Useful Japanese woodblocks
What strikes me is the gravel path with the pavers embedded in it. The shape of the path and the line of the pavers draw the eye into the landscape but
do not dominate so much that you do not notice the beautiful plants on either side. I would like to see what lies beyond the turn in the path.
