Life and Spirit of a Kyoto
Garden
Sunday,
May 19, 2:00 - 4:00 pm
Tenryu-ji:The Life and Spirit of a Kyôto
Garden (2012, Stonebridge Press) is Professor
Norris Johnson's (UNC-Chapel Hill Professor Emeritus, Anthropology) book on the
life history and aesthetics of a Zen Buddhist temple garden in Kyôto, Japan.
His presentation places experience of that garden within a
spiritual/cultural/aesthetic context, with emphasis on people - garden
relationships. In particular, an emphasis on garden stones with plants urges a
sustainable style of gardening. He illustrates and interprets this idea of
garden through examples from Japanese animistic conceptions of and ritualized
behaviors toward stones, both naturally occurring and placed by people.
Professor Johnson speaks to the vital importance to humanity of the idea of
garden itself. A suggested reading guide will be provided. Free, but advance registration required.
