A THOUSAND MOUNTAINS-A MILLION HILLS (FN)

A THOUSAND MOUNTAINS-A MILLION HILLS is a book about the art of Japanese gardens, specifically focusing on the use of rocks. Written by landscape architect David H. Engel, the book explores the historical and philosophical significance of rock work in Oriental gardens and provides a step-by-step guide on how to create them.
