      I feel stones and gravel would suit your aim, if that's where the japanese theme is going to be.
      Also easy to maintain, child friendly( apart from stones and kids)
      Would look great with all your

        My personal favourite is grey granite chippings. The uniform grey will highlight the surroundings.

            I have golden gravel which looks like Pebo's rheingold gravel.
            I like it because it brightens the garden up on cold dull days. I chose 20mm gravel because cats are less likely to use it as a toilet as its harder for them to dig in.
            (I like cats. Had one of my own for 19 years :blue thumb: ).
