The Japanese solitary tree landscape is a traditional Japanese garden design element that emphasizes a single tree, often a cherry blossom or a Japanese maple, as the focal point. It is characterized by a balance between the tree and its surrounding environment, which includes carefully selected stones, water features, and sometimes, a view of the surrounding scenery. This design style reflects the Japanese appreciation of nature and the concept of yūgen, which is an aesthetic that suggests beauty and depth beyond what is visible to the eye.
