Japanese Garden Design explains the theory, history, and
intricacies of Japanese gardening through gorgeous photographs and
expert commentary. 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 in this.
Keane describes the influences of Confucian, Shinto and Buddhist
principles that have linked poetry and philosophy to the tangible
metaphor of the garden in Japanese culture. Creative inspiration is
found in the prehistoric origin of Japanese concepts of nature; the
gardens of Heian aristocrats; the world-renowned Zen garden, or
rock garden; the tea garden; courtyard garden; and stroll garden.
Detailed explanations of basic design concepts identify and
interpret the symbolism of various garden forms and demonstrate
these principles in use today in Japanese landscape architecture.
