The Art of Japanese Gardens

Книга "The Art of Japanese Gardens". "The Art of Japanese Gardens" is a vintage guide to Japanese gardening by Lorraine Kuck. Kuck wrote this guide after having lived in Kyoto for three years, during which time she was in contact with such masters of Japanese gardening as Suzuki Daisetzu, Mirei Shigemori, Jiro Harada, and many others. This volume constitutes a classic reference book covering most of the traditional garden archetypes with detailed descriptions, clear plans, and helpful illustrations of elevated views. Highly recommended for those with an interest in Japanese gardening and not to be missed by collectors of related literature. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
