The author uses real examples from gardens he has designed, constructed, and photographed to illustrate his key points, approaching each work from the perspective of the home or building owner. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOguchi 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) and 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 and tree gardens, which are more likely to be sections of a larger garden; and highlights specific characteristics and conditions of interior gardens. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWithin each chapter are general layouts and methods of developing the various gardens, which precede specific, step-by-step instructions. The author also offers practical and affordable variations on more ambitious designs and shows how they can be adapted to the reader's home or building. In addition, Oguchi emphasizes the importance of proper maintenance and offers suggestions for special touches and restoration.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51356435939551,"sku":"9781568365442","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/kgvNSHAmGX9781568365442.webp?v=1788943883"},{"product_id":"the-new-zen-garden-designing-quiet-spaces-paperback","title":"The New Zen Garden: Designing Quiet Spaces - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe New Zen Garden\u003c\/em\u003e enlivens a tradition dating back 1500 years and introduces the contemplative Japanese space in all its varied forms.
