Description
(Short description)
Für den "Erleuchteten" ist jeder Ort das Lotos-Paradies. Der Normalsterbliche hingegen sucht sein Lotos-Paradies in Gärten. Die Geschichte der japanischen Gartenbaukunst ist auch die Geschichte der Suche nach dem Lotos-Paradies, d. h. die Geschichte des menschlichen Strebens nach dem rechten Leben in und mit der Natur. Dieses Buch will die wichtigsten historischen Phasen dieser Suche dokumentieren.
