I soak up anything relating to Japan and Japanese culture. Kyoto is my favorite city in Japan (even though I haven't made it there yet) so this was a no-brainer. I learned so much about the history and tradition of Japanese gardening and pruning. And the fact that the author was just 3 years younger than I am now when she made this journey made it very relatable and I could just imagine how this experience was for her. Extremely enjoyable!

cariashley Kyoto is amazing. This book looks so interesting! 7y

I'm looking for inspiration to get out in my garden as soon as it warms back up again.

I'm not particularly interested in gardening, however I was attracted to this book because of it's cultural quality. I loved travelling around Japan and peeking into it's traditional gardening values from page to page. From someone that has no gardening experience I still found this book easy to read and follow. It deepens further into the adventure, the opportunity and the respect for Japanese culture. I definitely recommend it.
