Shakkei archives
Past articles from Shakkei are a treasure trove of information, practical tips and inspiration for anyone interested in Japanese gardens.
Every quarter we are making accessible a selection of articles for members to view.
These archive articles may not represent current ideas on Japanese gardens and may have had minor changes from the original due to privacy or copyright issues.
