Review "In a Japanese Garden is highly colorable and quite lovely…The text really takes the coloring experience to a whole other level -- one where you can think and reflect upon the words while you color and perhaps feel a sense of peace and calm." --I Sniff Books blog "The pages are perforated so that you can easily remove them for easier colouring. And, as the pictures are so beautiful, this also make them easy to hang on your wall." --CastleViewAcademy.com "This adult coloring book recreates 23 artworks for you to color--images of flowers and trees, garden residents such as the bird and the butterfly, and in-the-moment scenes of people taking in the pleasures of these peaceful corners of the world.

The more detailed pictures are easier to color with finer print pens or pencils. This book is a high quality as well and full of lots of culture and more." --Crafty Moms Share blog "This lovely book comprises images of some 23 Japanese prints opposite which is a line-drawing copy for colouring as one wishes…The pages to be coloured are perforated to make it both easier to work on them but also permit subsequent framing. So, a delightful selection of images with a Japanese garden theme accompanied by quotations that will, I am sure, have one searching for the books from which they are extracted." --The Journal of the Japanese Garden Society "This is a compilation of 23 prints of paintings by Japanese artists from the 1700s to the 1900s. A color reproduction of each painting is printed alongside a line drawing of the same painting so you can match or contrast your coloring to the original." -- Nichi Bei Weekly "…The prints depict peaceful and serene images of parks, gardens and Mother Nature herself. Each print shares the name of the artist, an explanation of the print from the artist themselves and a copy for you to put colored pen to paper." -- Pausitive Living blog About the Author Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) was born on the Greek island of Lefkas, the son of an Anglo-Irish surgeon in the British army and a Greek mother. After his parent's divorce when he was six, he was brought up in Dublin by a great aunt. At the age of nineteen, he went to America, eventually ending up in New Orleans as a newspaper reporter. His flight from Western materialism brought him to Japan in 1890, where he worked for an English newspaper, the Kobe Chronicle, and taught in various schools. In 1896, he began teaching English literature at Tokyo Imperial University, a position he held until 1903, and at Waseda University. Hearn married a samurai's daughter, Koizumi Setsu, became a Japanese citizen and a Buddhist, and changed his name to Koizumi Yakumo. At the young age of 54, he died of a heart attack.
