"This magnificent new book reveals for the first time every aspect and detail of the Japanese garden - its rich historical background, its infinitely varied style and composition, its social importance as a place of pleasure and meditation, and its unique visual effect as a work of art. Through out every chapter, the focus is on the artistic impact of the garden- which, like any masterpiece in art, stirs deep feeling and lifts the spirit." -- Provided by publisher.
