Zen Buddhist priest Shunmyo Masuno understands that today's busy
world leaves little time or space for self-reflection, but that a
garden--even in the most urban of spaces--can provide some respite.
In his words, "The garden is a special spiritual place where the
mind dwells." With this in mind, Masuno has designed scores of
spectacular Japanese gardens and landscapes with the aim of helping
people achieve a balanced life in the 21st century. This book
explores Masuno's design process and ideas, which are integral to
his daily Zen training and teachings. It features 15 unique gardens
and contemplative landscapes completed in six countries over as
many years--all thoughtfully described and documented in full-color
photos and drawings. Readers will also find insights on Masuno's
philosophy of garden design and a conversation between the designer
and famed architect Terunobu Fujimori. Zen Garden Design provides
an in-depth examination of Masuno's gardens and landscapes--not
just as beautiful spaces, but as places for meditation and
contemplation.
