Date: 4 Dec 2011 - 25 Mar 2012
Mirei Shigemori is a well-known modern Japanese garden artist who surveyed over 400 classical Japanese gardens starting in 1936. The landscape designer learnt his craft through self-study, eventually designing around 200 different sites. This exhibition will seek out the essence of the Japanese aesthetic he explored, introducing Shigemori the man, as well as his landscape designs through models and the surveys he made of traditional gardens.
