About
Experience the Beauty and Meaning of Japan’s Gardens
This Special Interest Day offers a fascinating introduction to some of Japan’s most famous and exquisite gardens, setting them within a broader context that reveals the distinctive features of Japanese garden design as it has evolved through the centuries.
We’ll explore how history, religion, and philosophy have shaped Japan’s approach to the visual arts — influences that also lie behind the many different styles of Japanese gardens, from the grand and palatial to the tranquil and intimate.
The enduring Japanese love of nature will be brought to life through traditional examples and through the ways in which the changing seasons continue to be celebrated in contemporary Japan. Join us for a richly illustrated and inspiring day that reveals the harmony, symbolism, and timeless beauty at the heart of Japanese garden design. Morning tea included.
