Editorial Reviews
Review
The photos and text in this lovely book will inspire anyone who aspires to such beauty in their garden. -- San Jose Mercury News, February 24, 2007
This book emphasizes the connection in Japanese gardens "between humanity and nature, and the peace that ensues from the relationship." -- Moutain View Voice, September 2006
This elegant little book points the way toward greater appreciation of the Japanese tradition in gardening. -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch
This is a small but thoughtful book on the philosophy, poetry and beauty of designing a Japanese-style garden. The authors have written for homeowners who want to improve their outdoor space by creating soothing views and bringing more of the indoors out by using covered areas and private sanctuaries, even if the property is quite small. You'll find more inspiration than detailed maintenance or plant lists in this book, but the design elements are beautifully illustrated with photographs from home gardens. Other topics include dry landscaping for modern minimalism, pools of reflection and a garden for ikebana, which is the art of Japanese flower arranging. If you own a low-roofed rambler and would like to give it a landscape that meshes well with the style of the home, consider a Japanese garden design influenced by this book. -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer, April 14, 2007
Product Description
Living with Japanese Gardens shows how to capture and integrate an authentic Japanese aesthetic into any landscape plan. Japanese gardens affirm our connection with the natural world through the integration of the garden with the home, enriching the total living space. From the artistry with which the gardener places plants, rocks, and water with the viewer's perspective in mind, to the way in which a Japanese garden can make one feel safe and sheltered, their mystery and appeal are now wildly popular.
