About this listen
In Japanese gardens, composition follows from placement of the first stone; all elements and plantings become interconnected. These eight essays on Kyoto gardens similarly begin with keen description and build into richly meditative excursions into art, Buddhism, nature, and science. Landscape architect Marc Keane shows how Japanese gardens are both a microcosm of the natural universe and a clear expression of our humanity, mirroring how we think, worship, and organize our lives and communities. Filled with passages of alluring beauty, this is a truly transcendent audiobook about "experiencing" Japanese design.
Marc Peter Keane has lived in Kyoto for over 20 years and is author of Japanese Garden Design, Japanese Tea Gardens, and Japanese Garden Notes. He designs residential, company, and temple gardens.
