In a Japanese Garden

It begins with a wish and a waking dream: A city dweller yearns for the peace and tranquility of a Japanese garden. Illustrated with original woodcuts, this wise and charming desiderata walks us through the traditional elements of a Japanese garden - pebble, lantern, leaf, butterfly - and illuminates, simply and gently, the wisdom and generosity in each.
Zen teaching tale and hymn to nature, In a Japanese Garden celebrates the gifts of serenity and joy embodied in a simple garden and available at any time, deep within ourselves.
