Art Of Japanese Gardens (Hardcover)

This fascinating work presents the story of the growth of Japanese culture and philosophy as illustrated by gardens. The author identifies the importance of the garden in Japanese art throughout history, tracing its development from Ancient Chinese prototype, to early Japanese gardens, to the mansions of Muromachi, the Tea Gardens, and finally modern gardens. She relates the evolution of the garden to Oriental religion and philosophy, political and historical events, the arts in general, and the tea ceremony. The book's lively, interesting prose and handsome illustrations give it enduring appeal.
