HIMEJI, HYOGO, JAPAN - 2015/11/04: Bamboo Fences are important elements in the Japanese garden. Fences and screens - kakine or kaki - are made of bamboo, wood and branches are used to define where one landscape design element cedes to another. In this way they are symbolic margins and represent the balance between nature and human intervention. Fences are also used as backdrops. Japanese garden fences are also used to distract the eye from an unappealing background. (Photo by John S Lander/LightRocket via Getty Images)
