This book is a labor of love from master photographer Ben Simmons and longtime Kyotobased writer Judith Clancy. It contains lyrical images and poetic essays describing Kyoto's most famous gardensmost of them now UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including:Kyoto's Old Imperial Palace GardenA massive walled complex filled with flowering plants, trees and buildings which served as the official residence of the Japanese emperor for over 500 years before 1868 and is now a public park. Heian Jingu Shrine GardenConstructed on the site of the ancient capital and filled with lush greenery, ponds, rocks, bridges and pavilions which float above the water, providing a sense of tranquility and natural beauty. Ginkakuji Pure Land GardenAn earthly paradise featuring a massive truncated mound of packed sand that is resculpted by hand daily, this site was originally designed as a private villa by one of Kyoto's rulers then turned into a Zen Buddhist temple upon his death. Kinkakuji Estate GardenPerhaps Kyoto's most recognizable sight, a Golden Pavilion perched on the edge of a tranquil pond on whose smooth surface are reflected beautiful rocks and cypress trees placed all around it. Ryoanjin Zen Rock GardenThe purest expression of a world in miniature, expressed as a sea of raked gravel with islands of natural stone and moss set in its midst, walled off from the outside world to provide a place for meditation and contemplation. Saihoji Moss GardenFamed for its moist and soft, shimmering green covering of moss, this unique estate was designed in the 14th century and radically altered the art of the Japanese garden. Tofukuji Zen GardenAn ancient temple site which contains some of the best examples of a new 'contemporary' gardening style pioneered by Mirei Shigemnori in the early 20th century, featuring enormous rocks set in a sea of raked gravel and irregular checkboard squares set in a soft bed of moss ringed by azalea bushes. Plus two dozen other masterful gardens! Simmons' sensitive photos present a fresh, contemporary look at these timeless gardens while Clancy's graceful descriptions provides historic, aesthetic and cultural context. This new edition has been updated and revised, with many new photographs added.
