Art of the Japanese Garden

Производитель: "Tuttle Publishing"

The Art of the Japanese Garden is the only historical overview of Japanese gardens that covers Japanese gardening culture in one beautiful book. Japanese gardens are rooted in two traditions: an indigenous prehistoric tradition in which patches of graveled forest or pebbled beach were dedicated to nature spirits, and a tradition from China and Korea that included elements such as ponds, streams, waterfalls, rock compositions and a variety of vegetation. The Art of the Japanese Garden traces the development and blending of these two traditions, as well as the inclusion of new features as gardening reached new heights of sophistication on Japanese soil. 300 full-color Japanese garden illustrations and photographs highlight notable gardens in Japan, including graveled courtyards, early aristocratic gardens, esoteric and paradise gardens, Zen gardens, warrior gardens, tea gardens and stroll gardens. Also included are sections on modern trends and Japanese gardens in other countries.

Tuttle Publishing, originally the Charles E. Tuttle Company, is a book publishing company that includes Tuttle, Periplus Editions, and Journey Editions.[1][2] A company profile describes it as an "International publisher of innovative books on design, cooking, martial arts, language, travel and spirituality with a focus on China, Japan and South East Asia."[3] Many of its books on Asian martial arts, particularly those on Japanese martial arts, were the first widely-read publications on these subjects in the English language.[4]

History

Publisher and book dealer Charles E. Tuttle (1915–1993) founded the company in 1948 in Tokyo, Japan, with the aim of publishing "books to span the East and West."[1][4][5] It was the 31st corporation approved by the occupying Allied administration.[4] In its first year of operation, the company imported and distributed US paperback publications to the occupying forces, and the next year, it released its first publication.[4] From 1951, it published many books on the Japanese language, arts, and culture, as well as translations of Japanese works into the English language.[4]

In 1953, part of the company was separated to form a new, partially-owned company, Yohan, which took on responsibility for distributing US paperback books and magazines.[4] The Charles E. Tuttle Company retained responsibility for distributing UK publications.[4] In 1991, under chief executive Peter Ackroyd,[a] a planned acquisition of the Atlantic Monthly Press failed to eventuate.[6][7] According to executives, "Tuttle, which specializes in Japanese and other Asian books, came to feel that it was putting its existing business at risk by acquiring Atlantic."[7] In 1996, the company changed its name to Tuttle Publishing.[8]

Since its founding, Tuttle has published more than 6,000 books and today maintains an active backlist of around 2,000 titles.[citation needed] The company now produces 150 new titles each year, most of which still focus on the areas of Asian interest that Tuttle has long been known for—everything from Asian literature and language learning to cooking, art, crafts, and design.[9]

Founder

Main article: Charles E. Tuttle

The company’s founder, Charles Egbert Tuttle, Jr., was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy and Harvard University.[4] He joined the US military and was stationed in Japan immediately after World War II, working on General Douglas MacArthur’s staff. His job, among other things, was to help revive the Japanese publishing industry after the war.[4] After his military service was completed, he decided to stay on in Japan and set up his own business importing English-language books and magazines and exporting rare Japanese antiquarian books to U.S. libraries.

Tuttle came from a distinguished New England publishing family.[4][10] His father ran Tuttle Antiquarian Books[citation needed]—one of several Tuttle companies in Rutland that had been involved with printing and publishing since the 1830s. At university, he studied American history and literature.[4] After graduating in 1937, he worked in the library of Columbia University for a year, then joined the family business.[4][5] His interest in publishing 'quality' books about Japan and Asia, and his keen eye for design and editorial matters as a publisher, grew out of an appreciation for the valuable antiquarian books that he dealt with as a youth.[9]

Current status

According to UNESCO (2002, 2007), Tuttle Publishing is the most active publisher of books teaching Japanese to the English-speaking world, and English to the Japanese-speaking world.[11][12] The company has also published books on Tagalog.[13] The company publishes more than 40 products that teach Chinese, 20 that teach Korean, 20 for Indonesian, and numerous products on other Asian languages such as Burmese, Cambodian, Lao, Malay, Thai, and Vietnamese. Tuttle published its first Arabic phrasebook in 2004[14] and, in 2009, its first introduction to Modern Standard Hindi.[15]


As of 2010, out of the company's top 20 best-selling books, 11 are martial arts titles.[16] Tuttle Publishing is estimated to have annual sales of US$2.5–$5 million, and a staff of around 40 people.[8] It has offices in North Clarendon (in Vermont, USA), Singapore, Tokyo, and Jakarta.[1] Leading officers are Michael Sargent (Manager), David Loseby (Finance Executive), and Christopher Johns (Sales & Marketing Director).[8]
