Description
Book of Japanese Gardens: A Journey is a complement to the fabulous BBC2 series, Japanese Gardens. Monty Don, one of the nation’s favourite gardeners, wrote this book. Derry Moore did the photography, which showcases 200 original photographs for this beautifully produced hardback book. It features traditional Japanese gardens that combine aesthetics with ethics in a perfectly curated celebration of nature.
A Japanese garden is a natural world made miniature: rocks represent mountains, ponds represent seas. Monty Don looks at the traditions and culture that inform some of the most beautiful gardens from all over Japan, from Kenroku-en to the Zen gardens of Tokyo and the historic beauty of Kyoto.
Monty Don and Derry Moore guide us through the history and spectacular seasons of Japanese gardens; from the famous cherry blossom celebration hanami to the autumnal crimson magnificence of momijigari.
Monty Don also explores the creative forms uniquely associated with Japanese gardens, from stone-masonry and ikebana to the intricate skill of bonsai. Stunningly photographed by Derry Moore, Book of Japanese Gardens a Journey is a fascinating exploration of a unique relationship with gardens!
