Auteur: Geeta K. Mehta, Kimie Tada (compléter en anglais Sprache) Au cœur d'un jardin japonais, il y a l'harmonie avec la nature. Plus qu'un simple paysage d'arbres et d'arbustes fleuris, un jardin japonais offre un lieu de sérénité et de repos, rempli de coins paisibles qui se prêtent à la méditation et à la contemplation. Japanese Gardens célèbre et illustre cet idéal, mettant en valeur la beauté naturelle exquise de plus de 20 jardins japonais typiquement japonais - grands et petits, urbains et ruraux, traditionnels et contemporains. L'équipe experte d'auteurs-photographes derrière ce livre excelle à capturer et à expliquer les éléments essentiels et les techniques qui distinguent les jardins japonais de ceux d'autres pays. Les sites présentés vont des grands jardins féodaux, des jardins de temples et des jardins privés et ruraux aux jardins fleuris de montagne, en passant par les jardins de thé et les jardins consacrés aux bonsaïs miniatures.

Shunmyo Masuno, Japan's leading garden designer, is at once Japan's most highly acclaimed landscape architect and an 18th-generation Zen Buddhist priest, presiding over daily ceremonies at the Kenkoji Temple in Yokohama. He is celebrated for his unique ability to blend strikingly contemporary elements with the traditional design vernacular. He has worked in ultramodern urban hotels and in some of Japan's most famous classic gardens. In each project, his work as a designer of landscape architecture is inseparable from his Buddhist practice. Each becomes a Zen garden, "a special spiritual place where the mind dwells." This beautiful book, illustrated with more than 400 drawings and color photographs, is the first complete retrospective of Masuno's work to be published in English. It presents 37 major gardens around the world in a wide variety of types and settings: traditional and contemporary, urban and rural, public spaces and private residences, and including temple, office, hotel and campus venues. Masuno achieved fame for his work in Japan, but he is becoming increasingly known internationally, and in 2011 completed his first commission in the United States which is shown here. 228,6 x 25,4 x 254 mm224 pages, HardcoverISBN-13: 978-4805311943
