Japanese Gardens

By Isaki Kasahara

With 200 photographs and illustrations covering every aspect of Japanese garden theory and design, Japanese Gardens provides a compact, accessible guide to understanding the principles behind these beautiful spaces.

Traditional Japanese gardens combine aesthetics with ethics in a perfectly curated celebration of nature. A Japanese garden is the natural world made miniature: rocks represent mountains, ponds represent seas.
Featuring beautiful photographs and insightful insights into historical and contemporary culture, Japanese Gardens is a must-have for any gardening or zen enthusiast. At the heart of a Japanese garden is a key sense of harmony with nature. More than simply a landscape of trees and flowering shrubs, a Japanese garden is a place of serenity and rest, filled with peaceful spots that lend themselves to meditation and contemplation, and invite a sense of calm. Japanese Gardens celebrates and illustrates this ideal, showcasing the exquisite natural beauty with examples of quintessentially Japanese gardens.
