Japanese garden art
Mirei Shigemori had a major impact on the
development of Japanese landscape architecture in the twentieth century.
Active from the 1920s, he founded the Kyoto Garden Society in 1932. In
1939 he designed his own first masterpiece, the garden at the main hall
Japan until his death in 1975; amongst the most famous are the Tenrai-an
tea garden (1969) and the Matsuo Taisha garden (1975). The main
characteristic of his gardens is that they respect tradition and, at the
same time, depart from conventional paradigms by opening up to the
influence of Western modernism with its own language. The first part of
the book covers Shigemori's life and factors that influenced his work.
The second part contains a detailed illustration of 17 gardens. The book
is published as a new and revised edition.
- High-quality images and illustrations by Christian Lichtenberg
- With contributions by Christophe Girot, Kendall Brown, and Günter Nitschke
- New, revised edition
