Japanese Courtyard Gardens

There is nothing to equal the intimate beauty of a Japanese courtyard garden and this magnificent collection of photographs by Haruzo Ohashi presents the very best of them. Large space or small, dominated by shade or sun, courtyard gardens offer a special place for rest and reflection. In these exquisite full-color photographs Ohashi features the familiar elements of a courtyard garden including rocks, gravel, trees, shrubs, water basins, and moss -- but their combination and effect is always new and spiritually refreshing. This splendid use of confined space has a special attraction for urban gardeners who are increasingly adapting the "less is more" philosophy captured in Japanese Courtyard Gardens.Ohashi, Haruzo is the author of 'Japanese Courtyard Gardens', published 1988 under ISBN 9780870407666 and ISBN 087040766X.
