Abstract

Based in Kyoto, Ueyakato Landscape Gardening has been in business for generations since the Edo period. They refer to all activities involved in cultivating the landscape of a garden, including care, maintenance, and nurturing, as "fostering." Introducing examples from Murin-an, Tairyu Sanso, and other gardens, the book invites readers into the vast and deep world of gardens.
