Japanese Garden Design - A Guide to Creating Peaceful and Harmonious Outdoor Spaces

Pasquale De Marco

Summary

In this comprehensive guide to Japanese garden design, you will discover the principles, elements, and techniques that make Japanese gardens so unique and captivating. With step-by-step instructions and inspiring examples, this book will empower you to create your own Japanese garden at home, no matter the size or budget.

Japanese garden design is an art form that has been refined over centuries. It is based on a set of principles that emphasize balance, harmony, and the use of natural materials. Japanese gardens are designed to be viewed from a single vantage point, and they often feature a central focal point, such as a rock, a tree, or a water feature.

One of the most important aspects of Japanese garden design is the use of negative space. This is the space between objects, and it is as important as the objects themselves. Negative space creates a sense of emptiness and void, which can be very calming and relaxing. It also allows the viewer to appreciate the beauty of the individual objects in the garden.

Another important aspect of Japanese garden design is the use of natural materials. Rocks, stones, water, and plants are all commonly used in Japanese gardens. These materials are chosen for their beauty and their ability to create a sense of harmony with nature.

Japanese gardens are often designed to represent a natural landscape, such as a mountain, a forest, or a river. This is achieved through the use of carefully placed rocks, stones, and plants. The garden may also feature a water feature, such as a pond, a stream, or a waterfall.

Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a complete beginner, this book will provide you with the knowledge and inspiration you need to create a beautiful and serene Japanese garden at home. With its detailed instructions, helpful tips, and stunning photographs, this book is the ultimate guide to Japanese garden design.

Diamond is Fragile

Rustem Valayev

"The novels about precious stones tell about the nature, structure and search of the gems, as well as their history. Some of them are dedicated to the Russian gems, specifically to the Ural and Ukrainian emeralds, topazes and decorative stones. The thrilling storylines of the novels are interwoven with folk legends, myths and fairy tales." - Rustem Valayev, author 
"Diamond is Fragile was one of my favorite books from my late grandfather's library. Much to my surprise (and dismay) it was only published once in the former Soviet Union approximately 50 years ago and (to the best of my knowledge) has never been published abroad. 
I was inspired to translate Diamond is Fragile into English by my father-in-law - Thom Seymour, Sr. - due to his passion for geology and history (topics amply covered in the book). I hope that other English-speaking readers who are interested in these disciplines will enjoy it as well." - Maria K., translator
