	Japanese Gardens - Origins
		Gardens continued to be a major element of aristocratic culture in the Heian Period, when many of the principles that governed later garden design were established.
		These ponds were the major elements of gardens created to the south of the sprawling residences of the nobility, and provided not only scenery to be enjoyed from the pavilions of those villas, but also the venue for elaborate parties, dramatic spectacles, poetry contests and general recreation.
		The gardens are certainly the product of Japanese culture, and many aspects of that culture are reflected in their design, but to say that one mode of thought lies behind their creation is to deny the extraordinary richness and complexity of Japanese aesthetics.

		Nicely parallels conventional wisdom about Chinese v Japanese v Korean gardens: Chinese gardens tend to be grand and elaborate; Japanese ones, compact and intricate artifice; and Korean gardens, wild and au naturel.
