This coffee table photo collection provides many images of Japanese gardens; from close-ups of ponds and water gardens to panoramic visual shots of acres of land. Any involved in creating Japanese-style gardens will appreciate the focus of this title, with its many templates for creating peaceful garden settings. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars As Good As the Other, May 25, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Japanese Garden: Islands of Serenity (Hardcover)
This contains a beautiful collection of photographs. I found it very useful for ideas for my own garden. I wouldn't recommend it as a first book for someone trying to create a garden as it give no explanation. If you just like looking at the gardens this is an excellent choice along with Japanese Gardens of the Modern Era by the same author.
