Dans les jardins irréguliers, dits «paysagers», on utilisait au siècle dernier la corbeille, dérivée de formes géométriques courbes (ovale, ove, rond, croissant, etc.), dont le profil était bombé et s'associait au vallonnement des pelouses. La forme des corbeilles était en harmonie avec la courbe des allées. On installait à l'intérieur de cette corbeille un dessin géométrique plus ou moins compliqué et l'on traitait chaque élément du dessin avec des plantes différentes : c'était la mosaïculture. Cette mode fut très répandue à la fin du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe siècle. 3, record 1, French, - mosa%C3%AFculture

A kakemono... is a Japanese scroll painting, an ink-and-brush painting that hangs in a recess in a traditional Japanese house. In a teahouse, or the room called a chashitsu, which is located in a secluded garden setting away from the main dwelling, the choice of the kakemono and its complementary flower arrangement help set the spiritual mood of the ceremony itself, in perfect harmony with the time of year. 3, record 2, English, - kakemono
