The Garden Rankings of Japan 日本庭園 全国ランキング

■

The Shiosai Project is a ground-breaking research endeavor that attempts to identify Japan's finest sukiya living environments based on quality. More than 30 international experts participate. They strive to rank nearly 1,000 of Japan's very best public gardens, including those at inns, restaurants, and historic estates. The project hopes to steer attention toward truly relaxed and beautiful spaces, rather than garden sites which are merely large, old, or famous.

しおさいプロジェクトは日本の庭を規模や知名度によらず 純粋にその美と質によって評価する初の試みとして 各メディアや業界の注目を集めています。旅館や旧別荘を含む約1000の候補地の中から世界各国の専門家により選出された日本庭園のランキング上位5％を毎年発表。
日本を代表するくつろぎと美の空間-Sukiya Living Environment-第１位より５０位までをご覧下さい。

■Japanese Garden Journal

Sukiya Living Magazine (The Journal of Japanese Gardening) is a bi-monthly English-language print publication dedicated to the special world of Japanese gardens and Japanese architecture. Every other month, this 44-page magazine discuses various aspects of Japanese architecture, horticulture, art, and philosophy. Topics range from centuries-old design principles to modern, how-to construction and maintenance techniques.

This website is intended to give you a feel for the kind of material published in each issue. It is our hope to serve as an educational resource, and we try to offer well-illustrated articles that are brief and focused on information that you can apply in your own homes and Japanese gardens.

In addition to the magazine, Sukiya Living Magazine publishes a Resource Directory and a few useful Japanese gardening booklets. Each year we hold several intensive training workshops for participants to learn hands-on techniques such as tree pruning, stone setting, and fence building. We also sponsor a variety of tours to Japan, including an annual JAPANESE GARDEN TOUR to Kyoto.

If you would like to learn more about Japanese homes and Japanese gardens, this web site is a good place to start. Thank you for visiting with us, and good luck with your Sukiya Living dreams.
