One of the great discoveries of the Middle Ages was the beauty of the natural world. Earlier the life of warfare and danger had blunted appreciation of nature. Now the enclosed garden represented more than a safe place away from strife.

Review
"The best guide for viewing or studying the "bones" of Japanese gardens." -- Owings Mills Times, July 30, 1999
From the Publisher
We were fascinated by the author's magnificent photographs, her poems and her wealth of knowledge on the subject of traditional Japanese gardens. We started with the title "Ancient Stones and Dragon Bones," and then decided to make this the subtitle of the book. Why Dragon Bones? Read the flap copy for elucidation of this fascinating element of Japanese lore!

A poetic gift book,
By Ms. Garden "JG Garden enthusiast" (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Japanese Garden Journey: Through Ancient Stones and Dragon Bones (Hardcover)
This is not intended to be a how-to book, it's more of a meditative gift book . . . it uses the aesthetic of the Japanese Garden in short poems that illuminate some of the myths and legends surrounding this artform. The photos are well composed and show features from public Japanese Gardens in the U.S. It also provides a great list of public JGs so that you can visit them for yourself when you travel.

Not Much Content, Pictures are dated and not vibrant,
By Katie (Sunnyvale, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Japanese Garden Journey: Through Ancient Stones and Dragon Bones (Paperback)
Very short book with some pictures and notes on Japanese Gardens. If you're looking for a book with photographs or ideas for a Japanese Garden, this is not it. Pictures are faded and not inspiring at all.
