About this title

Synopsis

Explores the philosophy behind Japanese garden design, discussing how to create the sense of harmony unique to Japanese gardens, and provides practical information on design, construction, and maintenance

From the Author

Philosophy, theory and practical guide to Japanese Gardening
For the Japanese, the garden is a microcosm of the world full of abstract symbols. Their fascinating garden tradition has its origins in ancient philosophy and religion, and is the perfect expression of the Oriental Affinity with nature.

Creating Japanese Gardens brings this great tradition within the scope of any modern gardener through an examination of its philosophy and the meaning of its essential features, providing the knowledge and techniques for Westerners to understand and design a Japanese style garden in the true spirit of the art.
