They are beautiful, thought provoking. These unparalleled works of art at the creative frontier between man and nature date mainly from the Kamakura, Muromachi, and early Edo periods (approximately 1200 to 1650). These were eras of political and cultural ferment left us with many significant developments in the arts from the Noh theatre to weaving and dyeing. The gardens of Kyoto featured in this book are a spectacular example of this peerless art form and collectively form a distinctive aspect of Japanese cultural heritage. Gardens, by incorporating living elements into a man-made design that is then integrated with buildings and other structures, necessarily embody their builders' philosophies concerning the relationship between humanity and nature. Those can be, very broadly speaking, divided into philosophies that view human beings as either dominant over or part of nature. Gardens in East Asia, and Japan in particular, tend to be of natural landscapes. The age-old Japanese view of how human beings should relate to nature is realized on a grand scale in the gardens of Kyoto. This book introduces the soul of Kyoto, the Japanese garden, in an unbroken continuity from the Heian period until today. Addressing their variations through the sub-categories of temple gardens, gardens of the Imperial Family and aristocratic households, and urban courtyard and other gardens, this book offers an insight into the compelling fascination that the beauty and philosophical depth of these gardens inspire."--books.google.com.au.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 712.0952 Na Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 712.0952 Na Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 712.0952 Na Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 712.0952 Na Checked In Add Copy to MyList
