General Information | Practical Information

The authentic backdrop of the Japanese garden When it comes to the Japanese garden, fences are so much more than a way to isolate the grounds and providing security. Fences, Itabei (板塀) in Japanese, function as the backdrop of the garden. An important element that can really add a lot of atmosphere. Many elements of the Japanese garden symbolize phenomena found in nature. For example, rocks symbolizing mountains or plants representing far away green hills. The backdrop can either add to these images, or lower their effect if they do not fit well together. The hand-made fences by Yokoso Japanese Gardens ensure a fitting and highly authentic backdrop for every Japanese garden.

Probably the most important principle of the Japanese garden is that it should have a certain natural essence. This also applies to the fences to a certain degree. Although they are not natural in shape, they are primarily made of natural materials. In this case, the element of wood.

Inspired by traditional Japanese interior design The Soyokaze Itabei Japanese Garden Fences are very open on both the bottom part and the upper part, which features Kumiko woodwork inspired by that of the Shoji screens found in many traditional Japanese homes, restaurants, Ryokan, temples and shrines. The various openings allow for wind to pass through easily. This forms the origin of the name of the fence, as Soyokaze (そよ風) is Japanese for gentle breeze.
