Gardens Of Kyoto, Karesansui

I found this a very helpful reference book for planning gardens to visit in Kyoto (some of which I have also listed in our Kyoto Tips Blog post here) and this particular book introduced us to a lot of incredible gardens we had not heard about.

Japan's unique 'karensansui' dry landscape gardens express natural beauty using only stones and plantings. Condensing the profundity of the world and the vastness of nature into a limited space, they represent the art of the Japanese garden at its finest.
