Why read it?
1 author picked The World of the Japanese Garden as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Systematically tracing the origin and history of Japanese gardens back to China and the influences on Chinese gardens, this book provides a great basis for further digging into the foundations of Japanese gardens. It also carefully documents the historical development of gardens in Japan through the mid-twentieth century, situating Japanese garden design as a “vital artistic activity” that both connects to a particular time, place, and culture and transcends it.
From Mira's list on digging into Japanese gardens.
