The Japanese Garden in the West: 100 Years of Eastern Influence

Amanda Herries, author of Japanese Gardens in Britain, and former curator at the Museum of London, focuses her lecture on the creation of Japanese gardens in Europe. She questions whether gardens in the west could ever be real Japanese gardens, in view of the contrast between the serenity, asymmetry and control of a Japanese garden, and Western symmetry, form and free growth.
