Why a Japanese garden? What is a Japanese garden? This book/catalogue is behind the exhibition project (2014-2018) carried out by Esther Pizarro, based on the idea that every garden is intended to resemble nature and that it is not enough to try to juxtapose the different components that are desired. integrate into this space, nor with trying to eliminate as far as possible the artificiality of its creation. The need to establish correspondences between the garden and nature, the first as a cultural construction and the second as the universal manifestation of the physical world, with its own determinism and freedom or spontaneity, whose evolution escapes human domination, indicates the importance of their comparison. The Japanese garden is revealed sensorially through the spatiality and temporality that characterize it, promoting a multidirectional experience on the part of the subject who contemplates it. This book was published by the University of Granada when the exhibition coming from Matadero Madrid and Casa Asia Barcelona, ​​it arrived at the Royal Hospital of Granada and then continued traveling to the San Telmo Museum in San Sebastián, the Casa de la Moneda in Segovia, and again to Madrid at IFEMA, between 2014 and 2019.
