At that time, I suddenly ran out of words: whether it is niche art, the world's most awesome waterscape art, fish tank landscaping, or Hermès (Rolls-Royce) in the waterscape world... I always feel that these words do not exist. So appropriate.
Who the hell is ADA?
Special thanks to everyone for your trust! Indeed, there are too many symbols on ADA. It is niche and independent: it has created the art of natural aquascape, produced the products required for water features, and created a distinct ADA style. This style can directly change your living space, allowing you to easily have the most authentic, comfortable and comfortable "nature" at home and in the office. Today, we have a good chat with you.
Origin of ADA
The full name of ADA is: Aqua Design Amano Co.,LTD. The world's most professional natural aquascape brand. Originated in Niigata, Japan, it was officially founded in 1982 by Mr. Amano Takahashi, a famous Japanese natural photographer and world waterscape artist.
At present, ADA has more than 400 dealerships in Japan and over 1,000 dealers around the world.
Natural aquascaping art
As the pioneer of a new art field, ADA's brand introduces special literature and art: If you don't cherish tiny lives, how can you talk about nature.
This is also the first sentence on the title page of the new ADA manual. It is the slogan that ADA has used for many years. Seeing this sentence, it is estimated that many friends who came into contact with ADA for the first time, Totally out of my mind.
In fact, before this ADA has a more deeply rooted slogan: nature in glass. This sentence, It is also the name of the most well-known collection of works by Mr. Amano, the founder of ADA. Compared with the first sentence, this sentence gives a clear outline of ADA.
If you want to summarize ADA in one sentence, a more intuitive expression is: Created another world in the fish tank.
This world, the "Art of natural aquascaping":
In fish tanks of various sizes, natural materials such as sinking wood, stone, and aquatic plants are used to design and produce water landscapes, restore nature, and perform photosynthesis on their own.
In the 1980s, this art created by ADA, Breaking the world's only gardening style "Dutch waterscape", It was a sensation, and it has become synonymous with natural waterscapes since its development.
The 4-meter aquarium that Mr. Amano has been running for 18 years. Occupying a corner of the living room, it can be said to be the best artwork, the vibrant nature
The exhibition hall of Niigata Headquarters displays water features ranging from 180cm to 30cm. similar fish tanks, Just put it anywhere in the house, Raise a few more fish, Stop in front of the waterscape every day, Watching the fish swim around is very healing
The big waterscape has a relaxed and happy feeling like entering the Amazon by mistake, so that the heart has a small home, very comfortable
The small waterscape has a throbbing throbbing, as if opening up the memory of running in the mountains in childhood, making people relax instantly
The mini suspended tank can also become a small and elegant "green nature" in the study, bedroom and desk.
How is ADA style made?
These make everyone feel relaxed and happy, That is the "ADA style" we have been talking about. Where does "ADA style" come from? from true nature.
First, natural aquascaping, It is based on "nature". Reproduce the natural process through landscaping : Sometimes, it is to completely "copy" the nature in reality; Sometimes, the essence is extracted from various natural landscapes, and then "nature" is constructed .
Many people like the former, and many people like the latter. In ADA landscaping, there are a lot of the former and the latter. The most vivid metaphor for this "ADA style" that is infinitely close to nature is : "Cheating" the fish s eyes.

Secondly, this ADA style that is infinitely close to nature, It is also reflected in the design of the products required for landscaping. Let the product try not to affect the viewer when using it, Turn the tangible into the intangible. Not only let the fish show the body color and movement that can only be seen in nature, It also enables the viewers of the waterscape to gain the greatest visual enjoyment.
A man who dedicated his life to aquatic plants landscaping
When it comes to the admirable "ADA style", we have to mention the man in the video, The founder of ADA: Mr. Amano Takahashi. The godfather of natural aquascaping.
Mr. Amano's experience is very "simple": A fan of nature photography and a fan of the underwater world. He has spent his life looking for inspiration all over the world, The tropical rain forests of Amazon and Borneo are familiar to him like a second hometown.
Mr. Amano also visited Guilin, Huangshan and other places in China.

He gained a deeper understanding of nature from walking, It not only presents an unprecedented natural aquarium-style aquatic plant landscaping, Moreover, in order to realize the landscaping, he independently developed a new ADA landscaping product. For example, the method he pioneered to add carbon dioxide to grass tanks is still used today.
More valuable is that He left behind a large number of precious photographic works of major tropical rainforests, It has played an important role in the environmental protection of these areas and the discovery of new biological species.
Therefore, Mr. Amano Takahashi published 2 photo albums in his lifetime, He has also published waterscape and ecological landscape photography works in major magazines and newspapers around the world. and started a monthly magazine.
