Description:
From the busy streets of Tokyo to the secluded shores of Kyushu, from the volcanoes of Hokkaido to the temples of Kyoto, the treasured landscapes of Japan are brought to life in this concise visual guide.
Expand description
Drawing upon years of observation, Cotton Mather, P.P. Karan, and Shigeru lijima explore the complex interaction of culture, time, and space in the evolution of lands in Japan. They begin with a discussion of general principles and conceptual ideas that form the basis of landscape organization in Japan.
They then apply those concepts to such favorite subjects as vernacular home gardens, sculpted plants, and walled-in residences, but also to more mundane matters such as roadside shoulders, utility lines, and vending machines.
