Japanese, Asian, and Oriental style garden plans generally follow several basic design principles. Reduced scale, enclosure, angle of view, borrowed scenery, balance, and symbolism.
While most of us usually don't see or understand all the symbolism in Japanese and Asian landscaping, it's easy to see the other principles in how these designers can plan and create entire "worlds" within a contained garden area.
Most Oriental style garden design plans tend to copy nature in miniature. You'll also notice that, in contrast to the Western garden style, not as much importance is placed on symmetry. Nature is natural.
The pictures and links here should give you a real good understanding of the basics behind the Japanese, Asian, and Oriental design style. However, don't forget to take in my own garden ideas gallery for more photos and design information.
