| Summary |
Henry Pike Bowie was a connoisseur of Japanese art, language and culture. After visiting Japan in the early 1880s, he had a Japanese garden created at his home in California. Today the garden remains the largest privately owned Japanese garden in the United States. Bowie devoted his life to the study of Japanese culture and published this collection of essays on Japanese painting in 1911.ℓ |
