ABSTRACT

This study examined how mountain villages were built as proposed in the “Sakuteiki”, a book on garden design in the Heian period, and the spatial characteristics of roji (gardens for tea ceremonies) designed with the theme of a mountain village. Roji are gardens created for chado tea ceremonies by bringing the landscape of high mountains and secluded valleys into an ordinary urban setting to create an atmosphere of being in a mountain village. Japanese peoples’ admiration for mountainous landscape and their shared image has continued to be passed down from the Heian period throughout the modern era and into the present. Most Japanese Cities have mountain villages nearby, and thus harbor natural scenery. Revitalizing mountain villages was identified as a recent government initiatives to create a scenic country, and research on mountain villages can be important as efforts are underway to incorporate images and ideas of mountain villages into creating a beautiful country.
