Of course it's dated but as a gardener who lived in Japan, I loved the history and the thinking behind the gardens. A lot to think about when planning my next garden. ( ) A heavily-annotated translation of a Heian-period text on garden design. The first half of the book contains a lot of background information to put it into context, such as the typical layout of the types of houses to have such gardens and the importance of things like Buddhism, geomancy and directional taboos to their design. I found this pretty interesting, but it has a lot of typos and punctuation errors. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Learn the art of Japanese gardening with this classic, fascinating text. TheSakuteiki, or "Records of Garden Making," was written nearly one thousand years ago. It is the oldest existing text on Japanese gardening--or any kind of gardening--in the world. In this edition of theSakuteiki, the authors provide an English-language translation of this classic work and an introduction to the cultural and historical context that led to the development of Japanese gardening. Central to this explanation is an understanding of the sacred importance of stones in Japanese culture and Japanese garden design. Written by a Japanese court noble during the Heian period (794-1184), theSakuteiki includes both technical advice on gardening--much of which is still followed in today's Japanese gardens--and an examination of the four central threads of allegorical meaning, which were integral features of Heian-era garden design. For those seeking inspiration to build a rock garden or just better understand the Japanese stone garden, theSakuteiki is an enduring classic. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
