The Japanese Mythology Garden Guide is a complete printable design guide for creating a Japanese mythology garden in any climate.
This is not a generic Japanese garden guide focused only on aesthetics. It explains the mythology beneath the garden: the torii as a threshold, water as purification, stone as presence, moss as accumulated time, seasonal change as ritual, and plants as living mythological elements.
Inside, you will find:
A Shinto cosmology framework for designing the garden as a living sacred landscape
Twelve plant profiles with mythology, symbolism, growing guidance, companions, and climate substitutions
Four sacred garden spaces: the Torii Gate, Tsukubai, Karesansui Cosmos Garden, and Dragon Gate Water Garden
Kami, purification, impermanence, wabi-sabi, mono no aware, and other core concepts explained in garden terms
Water-feature guidance and symbolic design ideas
A twelve-month seasonal calendar built around Japanese festivals and seasonal moments
Scaled layout plans for different garden sizes and climates
