This article reconsiders the garden as a condition of cohabitation rather than a bounded form of design, situating the discussion within planetary aesthetics and posthumanist thought. Taking satoyama as a landscape in which human practices remain entangled with ecological processes, it examines how cultivation unfolds through cycles of intervention and release. In dialogue with Gilles Clément’s concepts of the Third Landscape and the Planetary Garden, the study shifts attention from composition to process and from managed space to the limits at which ecological processes continue. The case of Lake Biwa shows how a highly managed system can generate marginal zones in which processes of renewal persist, making perceptible the conditions under which cohabitation takes place
