Summary

Opening with an informative chapter on the symbolism and history of the Japanese Garden, this introductory guide examines the ancient influences that have brought Japanese gardening into the 21st century and focuses on the essential elements of the garden, both natural and man-made. The second half of the book introduces the five main styles of the Japanese Garden - Pond, Dry, Tea, Stroll and Courtyard - and examines how ancient history, Zen and Japanese ritual have shaped the modern garden. With chapters on topiary, decorative artefacts and tsubukai, this essential guide is a splendid examination of the most mysterious forms of landscape gardening.With more than 75 images and authoritative text, it celebrates one of the most intriguing horticultural art forms of the past 400 years.
