In Japanese-gardening, as also found in Japanese gardening books, you have to remember three basic methods for scenery. The first is, the reduced scale and this pertains to taking the images of nature-trees, river,mountain, etc.- to smaller scales. Generalization and abstraction are involved in symbolization and one example of these is the use of white sand or pebbles to symbolize the ocean. And another one is, the borrowed view and this pertains to taking the images of ocean and forest as background.

Japanese-gardening can be essentially classified into two: the Tsukiyami- pertains to a hill garden and basically composed of ponds and hills; the Hiraniwa- the exact opposite of the former; without hills or pond.
