The Modern Japanese Garden

Japanese garden design, known to the West principally in its traditional form, has undergone striking developments in the last decade. Leading Japanese landscape designers, such as Asushi Akenuki, Masatoshi Takebe, and Yasujiro Aoki, and architects, such as Kengo Kuma and Kan Izue, have been experimenting more and more with the form, style, and content of their garden designs. The Modern Japanese Garden is the first book to survey contemporary Japanese gardens, presenting the designs in a way that is relevant to Western readers and their homes.
