Zen Landscapes: Perspectives on Japanese Gardens and Ceramics Hardcover – October 15, 2013

.....written with extraordinary insight. Allen Weiss makes brilliant associations between the ceramics and the gardens of Japan. He gives a fresh approach that helped me understand how Zen plays a major role in these creations with clay and earth. .

This is a great book that covers Zen garden and ceramics in an interesting way...well written,but have your dictionary handy as the author uses words seldom heard.

If ever anyone wanted to pick out a book to illustrate academic language run amok, this gets first prize. With apologies to Inuits everywhere, this book really is unreadable. Perhaps the author had a point to make, but that point was lost in the fog of his verbiage. I donated mine to Goodwill, and, happily, they didn't throw it back.
