The author does a great job breaking down the concept of a Japanese garden so that there are pieces to look at and consider. Some of the pictures were wonderful, but I was hoping for a little more on the visual inspiration side of things.
A visually pleasing and helpful guide to planning a Japanese garden. It had lovely photographs and many suggested plantings and garden architectural touches. A perfect coffee table book
Great resource for Japanese influence and background for garden design. This book spoke to me.
Love those Eastern ideas!
Excellent full color photographs for design ideas, including water basin and pond (see pages 56-57).
