You'll see stone lanterns in many Asian gardens & lining pathways & entrances of Buddhist temples. They have a long history.

History of stone lanterns:

#StoneLanterns have been known in #China as early as the Han dynasty (202 BCE–220 CE), and prevailed from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties all the way up to the Tang Dynasty, when they were introduced to #Japan. The earliest known extant stone lantern in China is the Northern Qi (550-577) stone lantern in the remains of Tongzi Temple in Taiyuan, Shanxi. Other early stone lanterns which date from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) remain extant in several temples around China, such as the stone lantern in Faxing Temple in Zhangzi, Shanxi which was built in 773.

On a single small island in Shugaku-in, the imperial pleasure garden, Autumn has arrived.

I’m the author of Shu Ha Ri: The Japanese Way of Learning, for Artists and Fighters, available now.

#japantravel #Kyoto #KyotoJapan #shuhari #Japanesegardens https://writingslowly.com/shuhari-book/

After launching my book on the Japanese concept of Shu Ha Ri I’m visiting Japan itself soon to research another concept that’s become a minor obsession.

I’m particularly interested in traditional Japanese gardens and in traditional crafts, so where should go? If you know Japan, what tips have you got to share?

Took a friend to the #JapaneseGardens in Esquimalt-Gorge Waterway Park. They'd never been there before & really enjoyed it 😊

Miyabi by HABA – Review

In 1904, #Düsseldorf saw the first #JGarden in Germany at the Internat. Art and Great Garden Fair. The organizers wanted to hire someone Japanese to design it but failed. So they took a photo of a garden in Tokyo from Josiah #Conder’s book on #Japanesegardens and rebuilt it. A strange birdhouse had to replace a lantern!

For the restaurant, the organizers hired Japanese waitresses. They wore #kimonos for the authenticating effect - see the visitors staring down at them! The imperialist gaze…

@SerenaJ has brought excellent news! The #MuséeAlbertKahn has made its fantastic collection of early color photos public! Here is Serena's link to the archive:

This BBC docu explored Kahn's great effort in 2008:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007nfn8/episodes/guide

And best of all: there are even two #JapaneseGardens at the musée in #BoulogneBillancourt (close to Paris). A historical one from Kahn's times and a fascinating, playful postmodern one by #TeamZoo!

Due to the world's fairs in the late 19th century showcasing #JapaneseGardens, the genre was fashionable. Shops and fairs often took up #JGarden ornaments for advertising. One striking example is the Chicago Auto Show of 1916! The organizers branded the decoration as Japanese, but it looked rather Chinese. #日本庭園

This spring, I visited the magnificent #ParcOriental of #Maulévrier in the Loire Valley for a conference and saw the site. Many #JapaneseGardens in the West claim to be the largest, but this probably *is* the biggest in Europe.

Alexandre Marcel laid out the initial Japanese garden for a prosperous local industrialist. M. became famous in 1900 for building the #TourDuMonde and the Cambodian pavilion at the #ExpositionUniverselle in #Paris. He even brought parts of the pavilion to Maulévrier!

In 1910, the Japanese government staged the #JapanBritishExhibition in #London. Two #JapaneseGardens were part of the fair. A statement from the Jap. organizers is interesting: "The gardens are not purely Japanese. They manifest the good feeling existing between the horticulturalists of England and Japan; equally they symbolize the alliance between our two countries…"

However, visitors, without a doubt, assumed that these gardens were fully authentic and not just a tool of #CulturalDiplomacy.
