| Synopsis: |
This illustrated volume looks at the history and philosophy of Japanese gardening explaining, without technical jargon, the reasons behind the aesthetic, as well as showing the practical aspects that go to make up this form of gardening. The introduction looks at the general principles of the Japanese garden and its history, before going on to look in detail at elements of these gardens such as rocks, water, plants and accessories (including fences, gates, lanterns, water basins and stepping stones). The author then shows how to create a Japanese, with practical hints and tips for design and construction. This is the main section of the book and is split into three parts: the courtyard garden, the strolling garden and the Zen garden. There are photographs to show step by step how each garden was created, with detailed captions that explain the process from design and planning to the finished garden. |
