By Michiko Rico Nose.

Contemporary Japanese garden design has undergone striking developments in the last decade. This book explores themes such as the influence of traditional Japanese cultural ideas on contemporary design, the miniaturization of landscape, sculpture, and texture, and the use of far more planting than was previously found in Japanese garden design. Enjoy examples of experimental gardens, such as a water garden with glass rocks; a mountain garden with flashing kinetic rods; and a rock garden built inside a large inclined tube. With an introduction by Shunmyo Masuno, one of the world's leading garden designers, this inspirational book is a must read for all garden enthusiasts.
