"A necessary addition to the library of any serious student."-- The New York Times Sunday Book Review
Almost every Japanese garden is influenced by the tea garden. Here, Marc Peter Keane describes the history, design, and aesthetics of tea gardens, from T'ang China to the present day, with over 115 stunning photographs, floor plans, and illustrations. The most extensive book on this genre ever published in English, The Japanese Tea Garden is a rich resource for garden lovers, historians, and landscape architects.
Landscape architect Marc Peter Keane lived in Kyoto for twenty years and has a design practice in Ithaca, New York.
