Tenryu-ji: Life and Spirit of a Kyoto Garden

Tenryu-ji: Life and Spirit of a Kyoto Garden by Norris Brock Johnson
English | May 15, 2012 | ISBN: 1611720044 | EPUB | 368 pages | 29 MB

This illustrated study of Tenryuji, ranked number one among the five great Zen temples of Kyoto and a major destination for tourism and worship, weaves together history, design, culture, and personal reflection to reveal the inner workings of a great spiritual institution. Looking at Tenryuji's present as a mirror to its past, and detailing the famous pond and rockwork composition by renowned designer Muso Soseki, Norris Brock Johnson presents the first full-length "biography" of a Zen temple garden.
