Japanese Garden Design Marc P Keane Ohashi Haruzo Books

I have purchased several books on Japanese Gardening. I am not interested in the gardening style itself. However, I am researching the uses of mosses and lichens in the yard. This book has become my all time favorite gardening book. I learned about the history of a nation, it's people and it's gardens, and how they all intertwine to make the garden what it is today.

The drawings are fascinating, and the photographs are beautiful while being perfectly in line with the text. The use of plants, stones and rocks, sand and water within the confining borders of a property are all completely covered in a logical, thoroughly interesting format.

For me, the combination of diagrams, photographs and intelligent historical documentation made this book perfect. The discussions of planting materials and arrangements were clear and concise. Although I don't plan on creating a Japanese Garden I understand how it was done in ancient times and how it is done today. I will reread this book many, many times.

Japanese Garden Design Marc P Keane Ohashi Haruzo Books Reviews

This is an excellent overview of the Japanese garden in both its history and variations. I provide these to my student as I teach them about the design, build, and maintenance of a garden.
Informative
This is the most serious and complete of the 10 books I own covering Japanese Gardens. Everything is carefully laid out and well written. The photos by Haruzo Ohashi, drawings (by the author), and design by John Einarsen are noteworthy by themselves, but as a whole blend and complement the text perfectly. It ends with an excellent glossary, timeline, and even a plant list. As his drawings clearly show, Marc Peter Keane is a man who looks deeply into nature and design and thinks about what he sees. As a keen gardener and lover of art history, I've visited about 20 gardens in Japan, and this book, more than any other, gives the reader a clear idea of what these gardens feel like, not only a dry description of who did what when and with what materials. This isn't a do it yourself manual for westerners who want to start dropping rocks and spreading gravel in their gardens. Deeper, more difficult questions are answered - like why do these gardens look like they do, and how have they changed over the years. If the gardens he designs are as good as this book, I'd love him to create a garden at Galeazza one day.
The book is a very in depth treatise on the effects of historical influences upon the Japanese garden design. It is not a how-to, but more of a why certain design elements came into being and became part of the Japanese cultural experience.
A beautiful thoughtful book on the history and evolution of this art form. The photos and drawings weave a visual story equal to the charmingly written tale.
This beautifully illustrated book provides a great introduction to the historical styles of Japanese gardens. For those who are interested in planting a Japanese garden, there are three chapters on design which convey the essential elements of the gardens -- the book encourages us to consider the essence of the garden rather than copy the look of the garden. It was very helpful in designing my Japanese garden.
I've been reading a lot about Japanese gardens, but I am certainly still very much an amateur and a newbie. That said I think this book was the most informative and the most helpful to date in terms of understanding what it is that appeals to me about the gardens in Japan. I could never hope to recreate such a place where I live, but I can begin to see how I might have similar appeal and sensations in my own garden. And in a very interesting and palatable way, I learned much about Japanese history that I probably would not have paid attention to in any other context. This is a book I am happy to own and I know I will reread it many times over the years to come, though of course there are opposing views and I will try to learn about those as well.
