Bamboo Fences in Famous Japanese Gardens – the New Real Japanese Gardens eBook About Japanese Bamboo is Available Now
On 10 pages and in 53 quality pictures, the garden design duo Keizo Hayano and Jenny Feuerpeil introduce the beauty and versatility of bamboo as a fencing material. Being rooted deeply in Japan’s traditional garden culture, bamboo fences have evolved over the centuries and are today as relevant as ever in Japanese gardens.
Tokyo, Japan, April 29, 2013 --(PR.com)-- In Japanese gardens as well as in Western gardens, fences can have many different functions – from being mainly practical, subdividing the garden or separating it from the outside to being a more decorative element.
Bamboo is a very light material and easy to work with. It is strong, yet flexible, which allows for a great variety of practical uses and designs. As a building material for the outside, where it is exposed to sun and rain, it is relatively short-lived. Especially when the bamboo is in direct contact with water or soil, it weathers rapidly. Still, even though a fence may last only around 5 years, it ages gracefully.
Part 1 deals with the tall bamboo fences like the Katsura fence, the Kennin-ji fence and Nanzen-ji fence – all named after the temples they originated from.
Part 2 of the mini-series is about small bamboo fences like Yotsume-gaki fence, Kinkaku-ji fence, Ryoan-ji fence and Shiori-do doors.
The author Jenny Feuerpeil says: “All of the fences in this eBook are see-through fences - sukashi-gaki – an interesting design element. The garden visitor can see what lies on the other side of the fence, but cannot go there. Often used in Japanese tea gardens, this design element can be used to increase curiosity and anticipation.”
The e-book can be found on the Real Japanese Gardens – website under www.japanesegardens.jp. It currently sells for $1.95.
