Abstract

L’histoire de l’habitat japonais repose, depuis l’antiquité, sur une spatialité dans laquelle l’individu faisait partie intégrante de l’environnement naturel qui l’entourait. Cette symbiose entre l’être humain et la nature procède d’une longue histoire de la pensée japonaise et sino-japonaise. Elle est nourrie de mythes, de légendes, de sacré, depuis les cultes primitifs du Shintō, les courants de pensée venus de l’Inde via la Chine à travers le Bouddhisme, et l’influence majeure exercée par les conceptions taoïstes de l’univers. Ces apports successifs n’ont jamais remis en cause le rapport fondamental de l’être humain à la nature, mais lui ont apporté de nouvelles densités et ont imprimé leur marque sur toutes les formes d’expression de la société, dont l’architecture et le paysage. D’une certaine manière, l’architecture et les jardins japonais ont toujours reflété ce rapport fondamental de l’humain à la nature, et c’est pourquoi les divers archétypes de l’espace habité, de l’époque ancienne à l’époque moderne, se fondent sur ces liens intrinsèques à la nature. L’ouvrage rassemble les contributions de chercheurs réunis autour de Nicolas Fiévé sur les modes de conception et de production du paysage architectural et urbain au Japon, ainsi que sur la dynamique de ce paysage. « Paysage » s’entend au sens d’un artefact – un paysage façonné par l’humain – qui se donne à voir, à vivre et à ressentir dans les espaces habités. Les auteurs ont privilégié une approche qui cherche à comprendre les pratiques ou les discours sur le paysage du point de vue de la relation entre l’être humain et la nature.

Abstract

The essential elements of a dry Japanese garden are few: rocks, gravel, moss. Simultaneously a sensual matrix, a symbolic form, and a memory theater, these gardens exhibit beautiful miniaturization and precise craftsmanship. But their apparent minimalism belies a true complexity. In Zen Landscapes, Allen S. Weiss takes readers on an exciting journey through these exquisite sites, explaining how Japanese gardens must be approached according to the play of scale, surroundings, and seasons, as well as in relation to other arts--revealing them as living landscapes rather than abstract designs. Weiss shows that these gardens are inspired by the Zen aesthetics of the tea ceremony, manifested in poetry, painting, calligraphy, architecture, cuisine, and ceramics. Japanese art favors suggestion and allusion, valuing the threshold between the distinct and the inchoate, between figuration and abstraction, and he argues that ceramics play a crucial role here, relating as much to the site-specificity of landscape as to the ritualized codes of the tea ceremony and the everyday gestures of the culinary table. With more than one hundred stunning color photographs, Zen Landscapes is the first in-depth study in the West to examine the correspondences between gardens and ceramics. A fascinating look at landscape art and its relation to the customs and craftsmanship of the Japanese arts, it will appeal to readers interested in landscape design and Japan's art and culture.
