Plate 4. A stroll garden, filled with a variety of embellishments. As you walk, your eyes encounter a series of changing views and effects that are gems of elegant simplicity. But, taken as a whole, the garden of this villa produces esthetic indigestion. There is just too much in the garden. It is too rich fare for the ordinary man to be able to digest and appreciate. Yet you can learn much from it. Where the architectural theme is predominant, the rock element is less in evidence, playing a secondary role. Where the growing plant component is in mass, however, rocks are dominant to balance out the weight of the trees and shrubs. (Shokintei Tea Pavilion, Katsura Imperial Villa, Kyoto.)
