Between the pictures and the text. the book really decodes what makes a Japanese garden a Japanese garden. It also tells the story behind many of the elements in traditional Japanese gardens. and the photos are simply drop-dead gorgeous. It gave me lots of ideas for my blank-slate backyard. and tons of inspiration to get started on my own Japanese garden.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy J.
