Tsubo: Small Japanese Gardens Melbourne

About Tsubo Zen Gardens

Tsubo is a traditional Japanese unit of measurement, equivalent to approximately 3.3 square meters. A tsubo-niwa, or tsubo garden, is a compact yet meticulously designed Japanese garden that condenses the essence of larger landscapes into a small, elegant space. Japanese gardens have a history spanning over a thousand years. When Zen Buddhism was introduced to Japan in the 12th century, monks recognized that their gardens served as powerful tools for deepening meditation, fostering a profound connection with the universe's living energy. These gardens are not merely about aesthetic refinement; they symbolize the harmonious flow of life energy, offering a source of revitalization and healing. Our mission is to bring this meditative tranquility into your living space, creating a sanctuary of peace and harmony.
