Compare and Contrast: Mark Robbins' Borrowed Landscape

Authors

Abstract

Project by Mark Robbins

Text by Pat Morton

Shakkei, or borrowed landscape, is the Japanese art of visually incorporating distant elements of the landscape into a garden design. In a shakkei garden, a tableau contained within the garden integrates a far view of mountains, trees, or the horizon. The landscape outside the garden is "borrowed" to create the illusion of an infinite expanse of space and view.
