One-Dimensional Duality:An Investigation of the"Edo Gardening New Style"from Tsukiyama niwatsukuri den kōhen
For a long time,the garden design theories of China and Japan have been constrained to a product described as"imitating nature and capturing its essence from within".This perspective views it as an art created from the"heart",akin to a manifestation of spirit and intent.After the Edo period,the Japanese garden design community evolved this theory into three layers:"skill","heart",and"sensation".It was later simplified into more popular theories such as the spirit of immortals,the atmosphere of gardens,the essence of mountains and forests,the air of transcendence,and the aura of Confucian scholars.Forty-seven standardized gardening patterns known as"shin-gyō-sō"were drawn,becoming a leap in the academic approach and key to studying classical Japanese gardening art"styles".This paper is based on the study of Kitamura Enkin's gardening work Tsukiyama niwatsukuri den kōhen from the Edo period,regards"aesthetic sense"as the main thread of gardening's formulaic design,academically discussing the innovative path of the"Edo aesthetic sense new style patterns"in Japan.Through this,it examines issues such as the internal sources,theoretical lineages,and path lineages advocated by Kitamura Enkin,serving as an important supplement to the study of Chinese gardening literature.
