Create Your Own Japanese Garden: A Practical Guide by Motomi Oguchi

In this book, renowned garden designer Motomi Oguchi offers the reader a step-by-step, practical approach to creating Japanese gardens, drawn from a wealth of experience that covers thirty years and encompasses the design of more than 400 gardens. The author uses real examples from gardens he has designed, constructed, and photographed to illustrate his key points, approaching each work from the perspective of the home or building owner.
"With precise instructions and illustrations for building typical elements such as bamboo fences and stone bridges, the book gives Americans all the information they need to create authentic Japanese gardens" —Publisher’s Weekly




"This is probably the best … garden book to be published in English in the past half decade. … this book deserves an ‘A’ grade…." —Journal of Japanese Gardening




"This book is loaded with design ideas for East and West." —Washington Post




"Just leafing through the photographs is enough to make you feel at peace!" —My Home
