Philip Cave
For the Japanese, the garden is a microcosm of the world, full of abstract symbols. Their fascinating gardening tradition has its origins in ancient philosophy and religion and is the perfect expression of the Oriental affinity with nature. These serene and distinctive gardens, with their potent spiritual force, have inspired gardeners the world over. Creating Japanese Gardens brings this great tradition within the scope of any modern gardener through an examination of its philosophy and the meaning of its essential features, providing the knowledge and techniques for Westerners to understand and design a Japanese-style garden in the true spirit of the art.
