Japanese Garden Design

by Marc P. Keane, with photographs by Ohashi Haruzo, illustrations by Marc P. Keane

A landscape architect and garden designer working in Japan, Keane offers a history of the Japanese garden over 20 centuries, showing how society, politics, religion, art, and the tea ceremony have contributed to the structure and elements of these beautiful retreats. His gorgeously illustrated book presents the essential concepts that garden designers have employed through the centuries and the knowledge necessary to create these living sculptures, these sacred spaces, these ethereal and graceful gardens of Japan.
