The Hidden Gardens of Kyoto Full Description

A private viewing of some of Japan's most stunning gardens. The Hidden Gardens of Kyoto presents a stunning new collection of photographs by Katsuhiko Mizuno. Kyoto, never having been susceptible to short-term fashions, has kept the tradition of garden art alive for centuries in both public and private spaces. Mizuno, born in Kyoto, has spent most of his life photographing the gardens and architecture of this ancient capital. His intimate familiarity with the city and its inhabitants has enabled him to penetrate its most hidden corners and capture the beauty of unknown gardens with his cameras. The Hidden Gardens of Kyoto showcases more than fifty gardens, from private dwellings to Imperial Palaces and Villas, temples, tea schools and shrines. Some Japanese gardens were planned with only one vantage point, but many have been designed for viewing from multiple angles. In this beautiful new book, we are given various views as we explore the stroll gardens or look down from the verandas of the buildings surrounding enclosed gardens. In addition, the elements and structures of each garden are explained by Masaaki Ono, a student of the great twentieth-century garden designer Mirei Shigemori. The Hidden Gardens of Kyoto also includes plans drawn by Ono to accompany the photographs and descriptions. The multi-dimensional approach of The Hidden Gardens of Kyoto will both delight and impress professional and amateur garden designers and landscape architects, and enable readers to understand the structure and diverse vegetation used to create these inspiring landscapes.
