Description
Summary:The enthusiasm for Japanese Gardens which arose in Europe towards the second half of the 19th century in the wake of the “Japonism” movement, has in recent years encountered a vivid renaissance which has given rise to various representations of the Japanese Garden in the West. But this “Japanese Garden” so often in question, where does it stem from and what are its precedents ? By examining the works of Akisato Ritō, a prolific writer, gardener and poet of the Edo period, this paper will try and show the considerable influence he exerted on the garden art of his time, and, by extension, on the garden typologies introduced to Europe in the 19th century. It appears as though these typologies may well have left a very profound imprint on the aesthetic representation of the Japanese Garden in the Western World.
