Life and Spirit of a Kyoto Garden by Norris Brock Johnson 320 pp, 6 x 9”, hardcover, 120 color, B&W images |
|
This illustrated study of Tenryuji, one of Kyoto's oldest and most famous Zen temple gardens, weaves together history, design, culture, and personal reflection to reveal the inner workings of a great spiritual institution. Looking at Tenryuji's present as a mirror to its past, Professor Norris Brock Johnson presents the first full-length "biography" of a Zen temple garden, bringing a professor's insight to play with a spiritual seeker's openness. Here is armchair travel where you can smell the cherry blossoms opening and see history unfolding before your eyes. |
