Korean Gardens - Tradition, Symbolism and ResiliencePaperback
Western Gardeners' Guide to the Essence of Korean Traditional GardensKorean gardens strive to be in harmony with nature and to encourage the quiet contemplation of the natural world. Korean gardens deserve to be more widely appreciated in the West as a separate, distinctive, venerable and continuing garden tradition, capable of wide appeal if better known. They are intentionally humble in their conception and very different from Japanese and Chinese gardens.
The survival and continuous restoration of old Korean gardens demonstrate the cultural resilience and tenacity of the Korean people despite their tumultuous history.This book introduces, describes and explains traditional Korean gardens to Western readers. They are the unknown treasures among the world's gardening traditions. It contains more than one hundred photos and maps and details of 20 notable gardens.
