Description
Combining Japanese skill in the management of space with the art of garden design has produced a particular kind of miniature garden. A part of the Japanese architectural canon for at least a thousand years, it is called tsubo-niwa, after a unit of measurement that is two person-sized tatami mats placed side by side. It can be as small as 40 square feet and can be interior, exterior, or occupy that peculiarly Japanese intermediate, transitional space between the two.
Beautifully illustrated and designed with a reflective, contemplative aesthetic, the book offers a broad array of miniature garden designs, including Kengo Kumas explorations of materials as diverse as andesite and plastic, Takeshi Nagasakis art installation gardens with stepping stones of cast glass and bronze, and Yasuhiro Haradas mobile cube gardensplantings in stainless-steel trays on wheels that can be stacked and rearranged at will.
