"Taki" means "waterfall" in Japanese.
Many Japanese gardens include  waterfalls.
The waterfall has a strong symbolic meaning in Japanese gardening.
It is always changing, yet always the same, a perfect symbol of the "permanent impermanence" of the universe as expressed in both Buddhist and Daoist thought.


The waterfall stands for strength, smoothness, flexibility and persistence.

That happens to be some of the guidelines for Taki Sweden AB.
Also, our logo reflects the meaning of the word.

By the way, if you want to know more about Japanese gardening you are recommended to turn to the Sakuteiki, Japan's earliest manual on garden design, which has much to say about waterfalls.
