About the Item

ESCRIPTION Vintage hardcover monograph on the role of water in contemporary Japanese landscape architecture. Published in 1994, 224 pages. Text in English and Japanese, printed in Japan. This volume presents a wide range of public and private spaces—parks, plazas, temples, civic buildings—where water becomes both a spatial and symbolic element. With hundreds of photographs and site plans, Aquascapes II explores the formal, cultural, and environmental significance of water in Japanese design, from still reflecting pools to kinetic fountains and channel systems. “Featuring case studies such as the Imuko Todoroki Park and interviews with leading architects and landscape designers, this book captures the enduring dialogue between movement, reflection, and structure in Japan’s built environment.”
