Takashi Amano created a whole new way of aquascaping. He combined Japanese gardening techniques, Wabi-sabi (a Japanese art style that seeks beauty in the imperfect, transient nature of objects), and Zen art. This combination was given the name Nature Aquarium. The philosophy guiding his new term Nature Aquarium is that a complete ecosystem can only be one where plants and fish live in harmony and all of the species in the aquascape are living in their own perfect living environment.

Because it becomes harder to find main stones with appropriate size and shape for relatively large aquarium tanks such as W90cm and W120cm, W60cm aquarium tanks are highly recommended for those who want to start IWAGUMI layouts.
