Breathtaking photos blend with history & philosophy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is packed with breathtaking photos of beautiful Japanese gardens. The history and philosophy behind the elements in many varied types of gardens is well explained so the reader can understand the significance as well as the beauty.There are sections on the use of various materials including stone, sand, gravel, water and flora of many types. The meticulous design, planning and maintenance of these gardens down to the last stone or leaf is incredible.Among all of the other elements, what most impressed me throughout was the lush greenery. Carefully shaped trees and hedges, and rich beds of moss combine with water and stone to make unique and special places.Though not intended as a "how-to" book, the many examples here provide inspiration to incorporate features of Japanese design into other landscaping settings. These are wonderful places to nurture peace, serenity and contemplation.
