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.
