Klappentext zu „Mirei Shigemori - Rebel in the Garden “
Mirei Shigemori prägte maßgeblich die Entwicklung der japanischen Landschaftsarchitektur im 20. Jahrhundert. Kennzeichen seiner Gärten ist, dass sie die Tradition ehren und sich zugleich von dem Althergebrachten durch eine eigene Sprache lösen. Der erste Teil des Buches setzt sich mit dem Leben Shigemoris und den Einflüssen auf sein Werk auseinander. Der zweite Teil stellt 17 Gärten ausführlich dar.
Mirei Shigemori decisively shaped the development of Japanese landscape architecture in the twentieth century. Active beginning in the 1920s, he founded the Kyoto Garden Society in 1932 and published the twenty-six-volume Illustrated Book on the History of the Japanese Garden in 1938. One year later he designed his own first masterwork, the garden of the main hall of Tôfuku-ji Temple. Between then and his death in 1975, he went on to design 240 gardens throughout Japan. Among the most famous are the Tenrai-an tea garden (1969) and the Matsuo Taisha garden (1975). All of his gardens are distinguished by the fact that they honor tradition while at the same time — through their openness to Western modernity — they free themselves from its weight and develop a language of their own.
The first part of the book will deal with Shigemori's life and influences, including his interest in ikebana and tea ceremonies. The second part will offer detailed presentations of some seventeen different gardens.
