Uncluttered and serene, courtyard gardens add the beauty of nature to Kyoto's machiya, the traditional wooden houses of the merchant class. Typically, these narrow structures stretch deep into a city block and contain one or more small courtyard gardens or tsuboniwa.

A wide variety of gardens and their surrounding architectural features are beautifully photographed and presented. The result is an unprecedented display and explanation of the flawless taste of Kyoto aesthetics.

Hardcover; 152 pages with 150 illustrations. 9" x 12" x 3/4". (via artinstituteshop.org)
