A Japanese garden is a landscape composed as carefully as a poem. Florence Du Cane explores the flowers and gardens of Japan, from stones and fences to temple grounds and dwarfed trees in their trays. Graceful writing paired with a deep love of the art. Wander the serene and studied gardens of old Japan.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
