This book explores the inspiration and philosophy behind the built works of Japanese-American landscape architect Robert Murase. The projects, described in depth by Landscape Architecture magazine Editor-at-Large Michael Leccese, include a garden at Nike headquarters, and a temple in Japan — in addition to massive arrangements of rough-cut stone and field-collected volcanic boulders, and hard-edged gardens made from polished granite.
