Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore what the views of nature and gardens of Korea, China, and Japan are, how naturalistic ideas are expressed and projected in gardens, what their characteristics are, and what their aesthetics and message are to modern gardens. It was conducted using a literature review research method, and the results are as follows. First, Korea, China and Japan have a view of nature that humans should be in harmony with nature. Second, the views of nature and gardens in Korea, China, and Japan were influenced by shamanism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Zen. Third, Korea has created nature-friendly gardens that minimize human interference, China has created a somewhat artificial garden culture that creates another nature by reconstructing natural objects, and Japan has created symbolic garden art that brings nature into the house and contemplates it. Fourth, the gardens of Korea, China, and Japan all aimed for natural landscapes and gave symbolism to garden compositions, making it a mechanism to transform garden appreciators into a private world.
