"The New Zen Garden" enlivens a tradition dating back 1500 years and introduces the contemplative Japanese space in all its varied forms. Author Joseph Cali guides you through the basics of theory, design, and construction, blending age-old techniques with modern innovation. Beginning with a brief history of the spiritual and cultural aspects of the Japanese garden, Cali reveals the underpinnings of the gardener's art. In simple and straightforward terms, Cali presents a broad range of modern stone and sand gardens, provides a detailed outline of the history of Japanese gardens, and shows how principles of Japanese garden design could be applied to Western-style housing. With a focus on small and medium home gardens, the author introduces a visually explicit process in which anyone can conceive their own home garden, whether for a single-family residence or the balcony of an apartment. "The New Zen Garden" is a provocative eye-opener for both the serious Japanese garden enthusiast and the weekend gardener. Dozens of carefully conceived line drawings by the author—as well as additional instruction by top professionals—further illuminate the finer points of garden making and steer the reader step-by-step through some specific building techniques, including the making of textured clay walls, traditional stone walkways, and stone settings. This book is an excellent start to an appreciation of the theory and craft of Japanese garden design and will supply you with an abundance of ideas to transform your backyard, patio, terrace, courtyard, or other expanse into a space steeped in a quiet joy that you will cherish for years to come. Joseph Cali, a native New Yorker with a background in painting and fine art, has spent half his life in Japan pursuing art, design and writing on the topic of Japanese culture. Cali has lived and worked in Japan as an interior designer, graphic designer, copywriter, and illustrator, and his work has been featured in numerous publications.

Zen Buddhist priest Shunmyo Masuno understands that today's busy world leaves little time or space for self-reflection, but that a garden--even in the most urban of spaces--can provide some respite. In his words, "The garden is a special spiritual place where the mind dwells." With this in mind, Masuno has designed scores of spectacular Japanese gardens and landscapes with the aim of helping people achieve a balanced life in the 21st century. This book explores Masuno's design process and ideas, which are integral to his daily Zen training and teachings. It features 15 unique gardens and contemplative landscapes completed in six countries over as many years--all thoughtfully described and documented in full-color photos and drawings. Readers will also find insights on Masuno's philosophy of garden design and a conversation between the designer and famed architect Terunobu Fujimori. Zen Garden Design provides an in-depth examination of Masuno's gardens and landscapes--not just as beautiful spaces, but as places for meditation and contemplation.
