When you say Japanese gardening, it is actually Japanese gardening or ornamental gardening, which refers to the gardening art based on Zen, which is different from vegetables and fruit trees in China agriculture. Garden plants and ornamental horticultural plants belong to agricultural science. Landscape architecture is partial to planning and design, which belongs to engineering. Learning Japanese gardens means learning garden planning and design, garden art and so on, while gardening means agronomy cultivation and breeding.

The gardens and related majors of Tokyo Agricultural University and Chiba University in Japan are very good. The architecture departments of the University of Tokyo and Imperial University all have the direction of landscape architecture, mainly architecture, which is equivalent to Tsinghua University and Southeast China. Schools with good landscape architecture in China include Tongji, Southeast, Beilin, Lin Nan, South China University of Technology, Northeast Forestry University and Huazhong Agricultural University.

Domestic scholars studying in Japan are Zhang Junhua and Li Shuhua, who work in Tsinghua University and China Agricultural University respectively. In addition, Mr. Lu from Tongji University has a close relationship with Japanese landscape architecture. Southeast University once specialized in Japanese landscape architecture, and Tianjin University Liu once specialized in Japanese landscape architecture, and was a disciple of Lu. These scholars and schools have close ties with Japan.
