In this book, renowned garden designer Motomi Oguchi offers the reader a step-by-step, practical approach to creating Japanese gardens, drawn from a wealth of experience that covers thirty years & encompasses the design of more than 400 gardens. The author uses real examples from gardens he has designed, constructed, & photographed to illustrate his key points, approaching each work from the perspective of the home or building owner.
Oguchi begins with front gardens, as these are usually what one encounters first when entering a home. Typically, these front plantings are not defined Japanese garden types but rather, physical areas. He then moves on to tsubo niwa (courtyard gardens) & kare sansui (dry gardens) that might be found in the middle or rear of a building, or any available small space. Next, he introduces tea & tree gardens, which are more likely to be sections of a larger garden; & highlights specific characteristics & conditions of interior gardens.
Within each chapter are general layouts & methods of developing the various gardens, which precede specific, step-by-step instructions. The author also offers practical & affordable variations on more ambitious designs & shows how they can be adapted to the readers home or building. In addition, Oguchi emphasizes the importance of proper maintenance & offers suggestions for special touches & restoration.
