Shakkei: Articles in the quarterly journal vary from solely practical matters, such as pruning techniques and the basic principles of rock arrangement, through descriptions of Japanese Gardens visited by members, to wider topics such as aspects of Japanese culture and aesthetics which have a bearing on gardens. The articles range from the light-hearted and humorous to those of a more serious and academic tone. Our members enjoy a wide range of interests and reading tastes and we welcome new members on the same basis.
