The Japanese Gardens by Günter Nitschke has inspired me very much, with its gorgeous imagery. As a painter, the book has been of much help and inspiration.

Japanese gardens are very interesting, and so is much of the information here, but the whole thing is devoid of apt storytelling; it's a painful read.

Ce live se consacre à l’histoire des jardins japonais des origines jusqu’à nos jours, notons que les jardins japonais actuels ne sont traités que dans une petite partie faisant office de conclusion. On découvre les principes qui parcourent ces jardins tels que la géomancie, l’influence chinoise ou encore l’alliance de l’angle droit architectural et des formes de la nature.

You pick up this coffee table book and don't expect a whole treaty on Japanese gardens. The text is extensive and exact, it takes you trough 1500 years of Buddhism and Zen gardens. Very much a slow read, it could be improved by more didactic images, even though you find plenty of diagrams and photos of several gardens.

Много яка книга. Градинарството, както се очертава в източните онтологични традиции, е доста chad. Е, разбира се, и Епикур говори за разни там градини, но тук метафизиката е на много по-висш level. Трябва да си направя алпинеум.

Uninteresting, boring, very confusing when it comes to historical facts and divisions, hard to follow, it just jumps from one thing to another, instead of following some kind of a linear path. Beautiful pictures, though.

Again...that silly notion that I might actually be able to do somethign like this.

This is a comprehensive book providing an historical account of the development of Japanese Garden design. It's a classic, beautifully illustrated and well researched

Not the best pictures of the jgbooks I've sampled but adequate, and interesting, well-organized historical information.
