The Gardens of Japan is a very stylish Japanese paperback book all about the wonder and beauty of Japanese gardens. It details richly illustrated descriptions of the distinctive features and ethos of the main garden styles to be observed today in the gardens of Japan. Underlying aesthetic principles and cultural influences are explained at each stage in the 1500-year history of the garden tradition.

"Despite the myriad books on gardens in Japan, The Gardens of Japan stands out for its clear presentation. Good photos and succint text demonstrate the key idea that Japanese gardens are a living art form, as vital today as they were a millenium ago." by Kendall Brown, Professor of Asian Art History at California State University.

Size: 21.5cm long x 20.3cm wide x 0.6cm deep
