What is the meaning of the Garden of Words?

According to Shinkai's announcement of the film early during its production, The Garden of Words was his first attempt at making a love story using the traditional Japanese meaning of "love ". During the era of the Man'yōshū, the native Japanese words today known as yamato kotoba (大和言葉, lit. "Japanese words") were starting to be written using kanji, and the word for "love", koi (today written 恋) was written as 孤悲, or "lonely sadness". As noted by Shinkai, a more modern concept of "romance", represented by ren'ai (恋愛), came about by Western influence. The Garden of Words emphasizes the original meaning of koi —a "longing for someone in solitude"—but in a modern setting. Loneliness is the central element of the film, according to Shinkai. In an interview, he said he created the film with the hope of cheering up people who feel lonely or incomplete in their social relations. However, he made a point that "this movie doesn't treat loneliness as something that must be fixed."
