The secret of the Japanese garden lies in the mixture of the constructed, palpable and clear, the poetic, subtle, and the abstract, almost esoteric.
Off the beaten track, Francis Peeters, a specialist in Asian art, opens the doors to forty gardens and invites us to follow him into these timeless, little-known worlds. Between tradition and modernity, whether they are tea gardens or Jo-an , Zen gardens like Komyo-in , or whether they revisit tradition and hide in the courtyard of a museum, all reflect the essence of Japanese landscape art.
Through them, a whole art of artistic and spiritual living, close to nature, is revealed. Another Japan.
