Why a Japanese garden? What is a Japanese garden? This book/catalog is the basis of the exhibition project (2014-2018) carried out by Esther Pizarro, based on the idea that every garden aims to resemble nature and that it is not enough to try to juxtapose the different components that are to be integrated into this space, nor to try to eliminate as much as possible the artificiality of its creation. The need to establish correspondence between the garden and nature, the former as a cultural construction and the latter 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 sensorially revealed through the spatiality and temporality that characterize it, fostering a multidirectional experience for the subject who contemplates it. This book was published by the University of Granada when the exhibition from Matadero Madrid and Casa Asia Barcelona, ​​arrived at the Royal Hospital of Granada to then continue touring to the San Telmo Museum in San Sebastián, to the Mint in Segovia, and again in Madrid at IFEMA, between 2014 and 2019.
