    The whole article never mentions what the Japanese method actually is. Only mentioning that its not geometric and that you plant a bunch of plants in the same spot.

      Miyawaki method. Basically chaos gardening. you either cast a mix of various native seeds or closely plant saplings of native species, and let them compete naturally. Resulting in a dense lush biodiverse forest.

      The “Method and conditions for success” section of Akita Miyswaki wiki has a basic outline of the method https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Miyawaki
