It also discusses the various types of gardens found in Japan, including tea gardens, temple gardens, and imperial gardens. Throughout the book, Du Cane provides insights into the spiritual and philosophical underpinnings of Japanese gardening, including the concept of wabi-sabi, which celebrates the beauty of imperfection and impermanence.
