Anotations

Scope note:

A traditional technique used in East Asian garden architecture which incorporates a distant landscape into a garden composition. This is done by creating a framing device, usually created with trees or hedges, located some distance from the viewer. This trims the raw view, obscuring spatial depth cues, and has the effect of bringing the distant natural scene forward so as to appear part of the built foreground.
