"The European as well as the American lovers of nature have of late begun to pay much attention to Japanese gardents. Their attitude towards these supreme spots of contemplation for the Japanese people has advanced from mere curiosity to seriousness. This explains their growing interest in the study of the art of Japanese landscape gardening which is quite different from its European as well as its American counterparts. And, it augurs well for the promotion of better understanding between the East and the West that the lovers of nature in Occidental countries should make efforts to know Japan and things Japanese through the Japanese garden as an art, most intimately related as it is to the aesthetic life of the people." -Editor's Foreword.
