Shakkei is a Japanese term for borrowed scenery or borrowed landscape as part of the integral part of a garden.
The Japanese garden is composed of a series of subtly structured views. One can appreciate the gardens as being a cross between painting (two dimensional representation) and sculpture (representation in three dimensions). As such a view will require a framing device, for example by means of architectural elements such as frame posts, garden walls, hedges or earth works and so on. The framing device is a way of limiting the borrowed scenery to the desirable elements, thereby concentrating the impact in terms of the composition of the garden.
