Audio Book Sakuteiki: Visions of the Japanese Garden (Tuttle Classics) with Free EASY Reading!

For individuals interested in garden and landscape history, this book is an important read. There are many recent books about Japanese garden design, but start with this book's translation first. It will provide a framework for understanding more contemporary writings. It is interesting to learn what Japanese garden designers were focused upon, especially good health and being fortunate, discouraging bad luck. Too many contemporary books focus upon the artifacts of the gardens, as though a collection of Japanese-like things will make a Japanese garden. And while this book is also at times focused upon objects in the garden, it also establishes a philosophical and theoretical setting for the goals of the overall design, something often overlooked in contemporary writings. It is important too, that the reader learn and understand the relationship and inter-play between architecture and landscape, becoming one. This book is truly for individuals who like to read, re-read and study. I glean so much more every time I examine passages and study the footnotes. It is a high quality intellectual effort. In this age of visual communication (pictures), it would be helpful if a revised edition someday contained extensive images to illustrated the ideas conveyed in the text, but at the same time, I greatly appreciate the text and find it refreshing to examine an effort that contains primarily words and not flashy pictures-- but a new edition will only be accomplished when someone as accomplished as Jiro Takei decides to extend the work. While visiting the great gardens of Kyoto, this is an excellent accompaniment to read in the evening hours and then the next day, apply what one has read to what one is observing. When visiting the gardens, it is helpful to have read widely concerning Animism, Shinto, Zen Buddhism, and the general history of Japan, plus the history of Chinese garden design (Maggie Keswick and Peter Valder). It will open your eyes to interpret more of what is experienced.
