One of the pleasures of visiting Kyoto is to wander around picturesque streets lined with machiya, the traditional townhouses of the merchant class. Tucked away inside each of these unusually long, narrow dwellings are hidden oases; small gardens known as tsuboniwa. Following on from Landscapes for Small Spaces and The Hidden Gardens of Kyoto, the third book of garden enthusiast and photographer Katsuhiko Mizuno focuses on courtyard gardens of the machiya. A wide variety of gardens are beautifully photographed and presented: from those in shops, inns, restaurants, and teahouses, to gardens in many private homes. A total of 150 color images from 81 gardens bring the reader an unprecedented display of the flawless taste of Kyoto aesthetics.
