Gardens comprise a sensory as much as a cultural experience ― a medium for artistic expression, a place to unwind, and a portal to the elemental and emotional. This book illustrates how original landscapes have maintained their mastery of time and made their principals central to any discussion about space and the environment. Author Stephen Mansfield takes readers on an exploration of the outward forms, underpinning principles, complex use of metaphor and allusion, and beauty and depth that set the Japanese garden apart. As a specialist in the field, Stephen has visited over two hundred gardens in Japan, written extensively on the topic, and designed a Japanese garden at his own home.

Praise for Japanese Stone Gardens
"[T]his survey of the best of Japan's stone gardens may send you into the sort of fugue state in which you wake up to find yourself floating through the airport, boarding pass in hand." ùNew York Times Book Review
