Foreword and short story by National Book Award Winner Charles
Johnson Introduction by Thaisa Way, PhD Short story by New York
Times Best Selling Author, Jamie Ford Academics, novelists, poets,
and garden enthusiasts examine the legacy of immigrant and
nurseryman Fujitaro Kubota, whose unique gardens transformed
Seattle's regional landscape in the 20th century. A self-taught
gardener, Kubota built a thriving landscape business, eventually
assembling 20 acres in south Seattle that he shaped into a
beautiful and enduring Japanese garden. Today, this public park
serves one of Washington's most diverse zip codes. An innovator and
artist, Kubota created the first "drive-through" garden to
capitalize on America's love for the automobile. While incarcerated
at Minidoka prison camp during World War II, Kubota also created a
memorable garden in the desert. To Kubota, everything has spirit.
Rocks and stones pulsed with life, he said, and that energy is
still apparent in his gardens today. Photographs by Gemina
Garland-Lewis and Nathan Wirth are interwoven with original poetry
by Samuel Green, Claudia Castro-Luna, and others to make this a
unique book where every page presents a different view of Kubota's
garden.
