Seller Comments: Japanese Courtyard Gardens by Haruzo Ohashi is a comprehensive visual and practical guide to the art of the tsubo-niwa small, enclosed gardens typically measuring about 3.3 square meters. Ohashi, a renowned landscape photographer, uses high-quality imagery and diagrams to demonstrate how these compact spaces provide serenity and spiritual refreshment. Core Themes and Content Design Philosophy: The book emphasizes creating a "personal haven of tranquility" that eases the mind through a balance of nature and architecture. It explores the concept of tsubo-niwa, which emerged during the Edo period as wealthy merchants built gardens in the narrow spaces between their shops and homes. Essential Elements: Ohashi details the specific components used to construct these gardens, including: Hardscape: Stones, pavement, and gravel used for structure and texture. Water Features: Traditionally including stone water basins (tsukubai) to add a sense of moisture and cleanliness. Ornaments: Stone lanterns (ishidoro) and bamboo fences that act as focal points. Plantings: Minimalist selections of moss, ferns, and small trees that thrive in shaded or limited-light environments. Practical Guidance: The book serves as a "how-to" for both beginners and experts, offering blueprints and diagrams to help readers recreate these traditional designs in modern, often urban, settings. Sewn binding. Paper over boards. 106 p. Audience: General/trade. New in new dust jacket. Availability: Ships 2-3 days |
