Coppice gardens have been widely accepted in modern Japan. This paper discusses and describes the background of these gardens and the role of Dr. Uehara in introducing them through his writings. (1) In 1919, Uehara perceived that gardens required new elements and innovative designs for the future. (2) He proposed new trees such as the coppice, which were different from the conventional ones planted in residential gardens in 1923. (3) He moved to Mitaka (i.e., Musashino) in the suburbs west of Tokyo, where he explored the Musashino woods and studied various trees. (4) He suggested several trees as important elements of the gardens for the coming age in which some of these trees had been used for charcoal. (5) He did not consider Quercus serrata Thunb. and Quercus acutissima Varrutherus as horticultural trees suitable for a coppice garden. He perceived coppice gardens as gardens in which some of original trees were left untouched. (6) He followed Kiyoshi Inoshita’s opinion in naming new garden trees. (7) He described a coppice garden as a “natural garden,” “naturalistic garden,” and “garden of coppice woods.”
