This photo of the Ninomaru Garden of Nijo Castle shows the combination of humanity and nature. The bank of the pond that is closest to the photographer is very natural. The rocks on the right side look as if they are undisturbed, but they are placed purposefully just like the bricks. The bricks on the other side of the bank are carefully placed. The difference between the shapes of the rock could suggest that the brick wall required more stability, while the natural side was to resemble nature around it.
