Yes, the vine being planted ( or let to grow ) is a deliberate choice :). It's not unique to Japan thou.

> I don't understand how people can willingly spend every couple of hours every week to trim their lawn to a pristine, perfect cube of grass.

The funny thing is that you will fine plenty of Western-style gardens in Japan too: perfectly trimmed, symmetrical, sometime even next to Japanese garden. Japanese aristocrats quite love this back in the day.

And I dont think that part of Japan is pretty when I visited it. I understand that its not all perfect, of course.

  • You don't think it's pretty or you just find in uninteresting because it similar to what you already have back home ?

    Both are very beautiful to me, because I haven never seen either of them.
