- Japan has many mountains and forests, and has long been an environment rich in forest resources.
Wood has the ability to absorb and release moisture to maintain a constant humidity level.
Because it allows people to live comfortably even in Japan's hot and humid climate,
it has long been chosen as a structure that suits the climate.

A characteristic of Japanese gardens is that they incorporate natural objects
such as stones and plants, and are asymmetrically constructed with curved shapes.
