Japanese gardens are found throughout the world today-their unique
forms now considered a universal art form. This stunning Japanese
gardening book examines the work of five leading landscape
architects in North America who are exploring the extraordinary
power of Japanese-style garden design to create an immersive
experience promoting personal and social well-being. Master garden
designers Hoichi Kurisu, Takeo Uesugi, David Slawson, Shin Abe and
Marc Keane have each interpreted the style and meaning of the
Japanese garden in unique ways in their innovative designs for
private, commercial and public spaces. Several recent
Japanese-style gardens by each designer are featured in this book
with detailed descriptions and sumptuous color photos. Hoichi
Kurisu-transformative spaces for spiritual and physical
equilibrium. Takeo Uesugi-bright, flowing gardens that evoke joyful
living. David Slawson-evocations of native place that fuse with the
surrounding landscape. Shin Abe-dynamically balanced "visual
stories" that produce meaning and comfort. Marc Keane-reflections
on human connections with nature through the art of gardens. Also
included are essays on the designers and mini-essays by them about
gardens in Japan which have most inspired their work, as well as
commentaries by patrons and visitors to their North American
gardens. The book focuses on recently-created gardens to suggest
how the art form is currently evolving, and to understand how
Japanese garden design principles and practices are being adapted
to suit the needs and ways of people living and working outside
Japan today.
