By Kendall H. Brown • Photography by David M. Cobb

This book presents Japanese-style gardens designed and built across North America. Author Kendall H. Brown introduces the work of Hoichi Kurisu, Takeo Uesugi, David Slawson, Shin Abe, and Marc Keane, five designers who each bring distinct perspectives to traditional forms. David M. Cobb’s photography captures the results in full color and fine detail.

Gain insight into design approaches: From public spaces to private courtyards, the featured gardens show how structure, water, planting, and stone come together. Comparing the projects helps you see choices that create mood and flow.

Look closely at atmosphere and detail: The photography encourages you to study individual features as well as overall layout. Readers come away better able to notice balance, scale, and texture when visiting gardens in person.

Carry new context into your own visits: Essays by the designers, with reflections from patrons, provide background you can keep in mind when experiencing Japanese-style gardens. This perspective makes each visit more engaging and memorable.
