I watched this video for a class and I had to hunt it down because I was getting crazy asmr in class. So relaxing.

There was so much natural beauty in this one. I was taken with the circular, raked pattern of the rocks in one section, then again by the lush and vivid greenery of the moss. Life does feel kinda painful today... I wish I could be in a place like this - away from desire, lack, distraction, etc. For now, I can breathe and embrace peace where I am (which is better than nothing).

Yes, we mention this in the video, though in a broader context.

They say no one can work out what this garden is trying to say...Well there are 15 stones and you can only ever see 14 at one time...Well maybe the designer was trying to say The journey of life is never complete...

I believe they want to be respectful to the people and space around them.

@smarthistory-art-history 8 жыл бұрын

Super comment guy is correct. This is a temple and we do our best to be respectful in sacred places such as this. We also believe that the hush you hear in our voices helps to convey a sense of what it is like to be there.

@@smarthistory-art-history Does this mean you do the voice recording on site? For some reason I always thought you'd record in a studio and the background noises were edited in. Also, if you read this, I just wanted to say thank you for your work. This is one of my absolute favorite channels. The quality of your videos is superb.

@@mertenbohn5952 Thank you for the kind words. Yes, we almost always record onsite. The only exceptions are if we are discussing a work that was lost or something in a battle zone, etc. We feel that it's important to respond to what we are seeing directly in front of us in order to better convey that experience.

It's very artificial like Versailles. The opposite of nature.

@oltedders 4 жыл бұрын

Hardly the same. The Japanese never strays from human scale, while Versailles is never reduced to human scale.

@@user-bd6iz5ie7l Bonsai is an ancillary of the Japanese garden. Miniaturized living trees are not unnatural. Topiary is unnatural. Guiding nature is different than controlling nature. English landscape gardening is more akin to the Japanese, only on a massive scale, comparatively. When seen from the perspective of Western sensibilities, everything about Japanese culture seems unnatural.
