    Description
    The creation of a Japanese garden combines respect for nature with adherence to simple principles of aesthetics and structure. In 'Japanese Garden Design,' landscape architect Marc Peter Keane presents the history and development of the classical metaphors that underlie all Japanese gardens.
    Keane describes the influences of Confucian, Shinto and Buddhist principles that have linked poetry and philosophy to the tangible metaphor of the garden. Detailed explanations of basic design concepts identify and interpret the symbolism of various garden forms and demonstrate these principles in use today. A fascinating and knowledgeable look at the elegant art of Japanese garden design
