Marc Peter Keane - Japanese Garden Design

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I must begin by thanking all the people at the Charles E. Tuttle Company for seeking me out and supporting me in the creation of this book. Thank you, too, Professor Nakamura Hajime, for giving me my start in Japan, and Wybe Kuitert, for your friendship and many insightful comments that made this a better book. To Kinoshita Ryoichi, many, many thanks for your constant support. Also, I am very grateful to Monica Bethe, Richard Tanter, Tacy Apostolik, Andrew Hare, and everyone else who opened up new worlds to me by lending me your books. Yoshiko Mastubara is owed special mention for her ink brush characters which complement the pages on aesthetics. There are three people without whom this book would not be what it is and to whom I owe a special debt of gratitude:

hashi Haruz, for his beautiful garden photographs. Mr. Ohashi, who started taking photographs just about the year I was born, has made photographing Japanese gardens his life's work and has at least thirty books on that subject.

John Einarsen for giving form to my words. A resident of Kyoto for the last fifteen years, he is best known as the chief editor and art director of Kyoto Journal, an excellent quarterly magazine on Japan and Asia.

Preston L. Houser for his clear, editorial insight. Mr. Houser is author of Invitation to Tea Gardens: Kyoto's Culture Enclosed and the CD-ROM Kyoto Gardens: A Virtual Stroll Through Zen Landscape.

This book is the result of eleven years of research and design work. It is impossible to list all the many, many people who have helped me along the way: the scholars who shared their thoughts with me and the gardeners who gave me insights into their world. I am very grateful to all of you.

And, most of all, to Momoko and Kai, who made it all worth it just by being there.
