| Description: |
"A poetic homage to the Japanese garden--not just for its artistry and grandeur, but also as the locus of our desire for balance and equanimity."--Leza Lowitz, author of "Green Tea to Go: Stories from Tokyo" |
| Synopsis: |
Gardens comprise a sensory as much as a cultural experience - a medium for artistic expression, a place tounwind, and a portal to the elemental and emotional. This book illustrates how original landscapes have maintained their mastery of time and made their principals central to any discussion about space and the environment. Author Stephen Mansfield takes readers on an exploration of the outward forms, underpinning principles, complex use of metaphor and allusion, and beauty and depth that set the Japanese garden apart. As a specialist in the field, Stephen has visited over two hundred gardens in Japan, written extensively on the topic, and designed a Japanese garden at his own home. |
