Description
Summary:The pre-modern period (1573-1867) marks the start of a new development of gardens in many areas, and the state lords – the new elite coming from the warriors class – enjoy having vast landscape parks built; these parks often spread over ten hectares, which is a new phenomenon. Living far from Kyôto, which had been the cradle of gardening art until then, these lords call upon specialists who are in charge of the conception of landscape parks and their architectures: thus, the figure of the landscape-architect was born in Japan at the beginning of the 17th century. At the same time, the spreading of these activities over the whole territory has lead to the writing of several handbooks on landscape architecture or horticulture, which are printed, and which have become successful because of the progressive spread of the garden in the housing of every class of the society.
