Product Description

In this book, renowned garden designer Oguchi offers a step-by-step, practical approach to Japanese garden design, drawing on over 30 years experience of designing more than 400 gardens. With clear, concise demonstrations of the techniques, the author uses real examples from gardens he has designed, constructed and photographed, to cover the key points of garden making. He includes front gardens, tsubo niwa (courtyard gardens), kare sansui (dry gardens), tea gardens and tree gardens. Oguchi then goes on to highlight the more unique conditions of gardens in interior spaces which, while not strictly a Japanese garden classification, may nevertheless be of interest particularly to business owners and urban dwellers. The chapters are organised to show general layouts and methods of developing the various gardens, before going into the specific aspects in a step-by-step format.
