This fascinating, beautifully illustrated study of the Chinese garden focuses on one of civilization's greatest works of art. Less formal than the gardens of Japan—whose designers were greatly influenced by developments on the Chinese mainland — the gardens of China capture the vitality and spontaneity of nature and art an integral part of the people's every day life.
