Description
Garden with Teahouse (Chashitsu no aru niwa), dated 1960, presents the tea house as an architectural subject embedded within its garden setting. The chashitsu was among the most refined expressions of Japanese architectural aesthetics — small, restrained, and precisely proportioned to create an environment conducive to the ceremony practiced within. Hashimoto's composition situates the building among garden elements, his geometric approach to both architecture and landscape creating a study in the relationship between the made and the grown.
