Marc Keane’s latest addition to the wonderful world of Japanese gardens. Hardcover- 10 1/2″ x 8 1.4″ – 284 pages – 117 color photos & illustrations
More than just another Japanese garden book
Though it features numerous world class Japanese gardens, this beautiful, richly photographed and illustrated volume is much more than just another Japanese garden book. Marc Peter Keane, renowned author and designer takes you on a guided tour of Japanese tea gardens, from ancient times to the modern day. It’s a journey that looks at how social. religious. aesthetic, and philosophical influences combined over hundreds of years to produce one of the world’s most transcendent forms of landscape art.
Photos
Though I admire Marc Keane and his contributions to the art of Japanese gardens and gardening, my one small disappointment about this book is the fairly significant number of photos that have appeared in other books. In spite of this, I consider this lovely volume a genuine ground breaker.
