The Sakuteiki, or "Records of Garden Making, " is the oldest known text on Japanese gardening and a foundational work in the world of horticulture, written almost one thousand years ago. This edition presents a modern English translation and an insightful introduction to the cultural and historical context behind Japanese garden design. Central to its analysis is the sacred significance of stones in Japanese culture and their role in creating harmonious garden spaces. Written during the Heian period by a Japanese court noble, the work offers both technical guidance on garden construction—practices still observed in Japanese gardens today—and a thoughtful exploration of the four allegorical themes integral to garden design at the time. Whether you're designing a rock garden or deepen your appreciation of Japanese stone gardens, this classic provides invaluable insights.
