Product details

As a Volunteer Guide at our Portland Japanese Garden (one of the very best in North America), I've collected a number of Garden books. This book is my favorite. It is nicely illustrated with pictures, drawings, maps and diagrams. The narrative concerning Garden history, styles and design principles is clear, and concise. Many of the prominent Gardens in Japan are featured. It covers both classical and more modern styles of Gardens. If you get one book on Japanese Gardens, make it this one.
Beautiful pictures, and explanations of the different aspects of Japanese gardens
I ordered this book somewhat "blind" without having seen it in a bookstore, etc. When it arrived, I must say that I was thrilled with the quality of the text, photos and other illustrations. The book thoroughly covers the basic history, principles and aesthetics of Japanese Gardens. Then it takes an in-depth look at some of the finest gardens of each type found in Japan. Highly recommended.
Gave this as a gift and it was well received. My brother started planning out his garden immediately
Nice book. Good photos. Excellent subject.
Really a great intro to Japanese gardens. One of the best 4 books I own out of over a dozen related to this topic.
I bought this book for my husband who is designing his own Japanese garden. The concepts provided in the book have been wonderful for him.
One of the best on this subject
