Korean gardens : tradition, symbolism and resilience / Jill Matthews. by Matthews, Jill, 1949- author. Carlsbad, CA ; Seoul : Hollym, 2018. Subjects Gardens, Korean.   Gardens -- Korea -- Design. ISBN:  9781565914902 (paperback) 1565914902 (paperback) Description:  208 pages : color illustrations, map ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Korean gardens strive to be in harmony with nature and to encourage the quiet contemplation of the natural world. They are intentionally humble in their conception and very different from Japanese and Chinese gardens. Korean gardens deserve to be more widely appreciated in the West as a separate, distinctive, venerable and continuing garden tradition, capable of wide appeal if better known. They are the unknown treasures among the world's gardening traditions. The survival and continuous restoration of old Korean gardens demonstrate the cultural resilience and tenacity of the Korean people despite their tumultuous history. This book introduces, describes and explains traditional Korean gardens to Western readers. It contains more than one hundred photos and maps and details of 20 notable gardens."--Publisher's website.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 712.60951 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList
