sameoldoctor, the difference is in their individual date of invention. Besides that, they are both equally useless, intellectually insulting and non-existent.
Now, what about those gardens? Can I get a hard copy of the Washington Park Arboretum Bulletin delivered to my home, preferably printed on felled Washington Park trees?
My rough wag at it. Japanese gardens are influenced by Shinto. So the focus is typically nature. Also IMHO, the Japanese are more 'precise'... So the nail on the fence is precisely where it should be to create the stain which adds more depth; the board used also might have specific graining to enhance this. One of the cool things is the Zen Buddhist stuff; They will specifically add imperfection here and there. As someone mentioned above, it's more about meditation and reflection.
Chinese gardens are more about discovery. They are meant to be moved through and use both nature and built... more statues and stuff than Japanese. Also seems to me that Chinese gardens I studied ages ago are more what I'd consider a park than a garden.
Am I close?
