In \n1939 he designed his own first masterpiece, the garden at the main hall \nof the Tôfuku-ji temple. From then on he designed 240 gardens all over \nJapan until his death in 1975; amongst the most famous are the Tenrai-an\n tea garden (1969) and the Matsuo Taisha garden (1975). The main \ncharacteristic of his gardens is that they respect tradition and, at the\n same time, depart from conventional paradigms by opening up to the \ninfluence of Western modernism with its own language. The first part of \nthe book covers Shigemori’s life and factors that influenced his work. \nThe second part contains a detailed illustration of 17 gardens. The book\n is published as a new and revised edition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n    \n        \n            \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-quality images and illustrations by Christian Lichtenberg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith contributions by Christophe Girot, Kendall Brown, and Günter Nitschke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew, revised edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christian Tschumi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48279219962107,"sku":"9783035621754","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9783035621754.jpg?v=1772488381","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/mirei-shigemori-rebel-in-the-garden-9783035621754","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
