In the crowded field of books on Japanese gardens, Marc Keane has produced a classic."-- Kendall H. Brown, author of Quiet Beauty: The Japanese Gardens of North America "Sheds light on the intricate and often overlooked details and important nuances of the Japanese garden with the insight of an experienced designer and practitioner and the eloquence of a scholar. . . . A must-have volume for anyone seriously interested in understanding the spirit and attention to subtle detail that make Japanese gardens places of tranquility and refuge wherever they exist in the world."-- Diane Durston (Arlene Schnitzer Curator of Culture, Art, and Education) and Sadafumi Uchiyama (Garden Curator), Portland Japanese Garden " Japanese Garden Notes may be one of the most exquisitely photographed books on Japanese gardens ever published.

Organized by theme, this book gives the reader a rich overview of Japanese garden art, while pleasing the eye with surprising, intimate, even intense, photographs."-- Alex Kerr, author of Lost Japan " Japanese Garden Notes captures the beauty and intelligence of Japanese gardens better than any book I know of.

Some include luscious and open green spaces, while others are more contained and have meticulous arrangements. Each will make you want to go and connect with nature." --My Modern MET "A true work of art... that all who are interested in Japanese gardens should have on their bookshelf." --Shakkei: The Journal of the Japanese Garden Society "There is not a gardener, of any kind, anywhere that would not benefit from owning this book" --The Botanical Gardening Group "A jumping-off point for audiences interested in learning more about Japanese gardens, and offers inspiration for casual observers, garden design students, and aficionados." --Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia "In this thoughtful, marvelous book, Marc Keane distills over three decades experience observing, sketching, photographing, researching, and building Japanese gardens. The result is a series of compelling verbal and visual reflections on the design principles and philosophical values of Japanese gardens.
