Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Classical Zen gardens were designed by Japanese monks and are now revered as national monuments. Gardens that have been designed according to the principles of Feng Shui are places where contemplation and tranquility are possible so providing a haven from the stresses of modern day living. This book aims to show how Zen gardening can put us back in touch with the elements and restore a vital natural equilibrium to our environment.
Sunniva Harte carefully puts the art of Zen gardening into context by explaining the intellectual and emotional starting points from which it originated and showing how the Japanese view of nature differs from Western thinking. We are shown how key elements such as water, plants, rocks and architecture have a symbolic as well as aesthetic value reminding mankind of his place in the natural order of the universe. Overall this is a well put-together, chunky, handsome hardback with some great hints and tips about creating peace in our busy world.
