100 Japanese Gardens is an ambitious attempt to profile the finest
gardens in Japan, while also highlighting lesser known, but equally
accomplished landscapes in less-visited parts of the country. A
celebration of Japanese landscape design, this book features
gardens from Kyoto and Tokyo, as well as from the sub-arctic island
of Hokkaido and the semi-tropical islands of Okinawa. Author
Stephen Mansfield travelled the length and breadth of Japan on a
quest to identify the most impressive gardens in this vast and
culturally varied archipelago. His erudition and love of the
Japanese garden shines through on every page, making this the
perfect primer for travel to Japan or an enjoyable armchair read
for gardening enthusiasts. Mansfield's insightful descriptions of
each garden examine design concepts and principles, space
management, compositional elements, and the iconographic and
metaphysical role of Shinto and Buddhist influences. Through his
exquisite visuals and engaging stories, we experience Japanese
garden designs not merely as landscapes, but as large-scale art
installations.
