- Summary
- "Combining Japanese skill in the management of space with the art of garden design has produced a particular kind of miniature garden. A part of the Japanese architectural canon for at least a thousand years, it is called tsubo-niwa, after a unit of measurement that is two person-sized tatami mats placed side by side. It can be as small as 40 square feet and can be interior, exterior, or occupy that peculiarly Japanese intermediate, transitional space between the two."--BOOK JACKET.
