Summary:

The Japanese garden designer, like the poet, creates a theater for the wind to speak, and to our delight we find that the wind has words. In listening, we participate in more than just a pleasant garden scene; we participate in our own immortality. With 'Japanese Garden Design, ' Marc Peter Keane provides an etymology, grammar, and lexicon for deciphering just what the wind has to say.
