Japanese garden design

"In a land where space is infinitely precious, the art of landscaping and garden design has been taken to its ultimate limits of expression. Whilst instantly recognizable by their unique and exquisite form, these gardens invariably resist a straightforward intellectual comprehension. The viewer instinctively senses that their creation has involved an aesthetic and philosophy that are completely separate from the Western tradition. In Japanese Garden Design, Marc Peter Keane presents to the reader the essential concepts and processes that Japanese garden designers have employed through the centuries, knowledge necessary for a true appreciation and cultivated familiarity with these living works of sculpture, these sacred spaces for reflection, these ethereal and graceful gardens of Japan."--Book jacket.

  • "The creation of a Japanese garden combines respect for nature with adherence to simple principles of aesthetics and structure. In Japanese Garden Design, landscape architect Marc Peter Keane presents the history and development of the classical metaphors that underlie all Japanese gardens. Keane describes the influences of Confucian, Shinto and Buddhist principles that have linked poetry and philosophy to the tangible metaphor of the garden. Detailed explanations of basic design concepts identify and interpret the symbolism of various garden forms and demonstrate these principles in use today."@en
