The Garden of Japan

The Garden of Japan: A Year's Diary of Its Flowers is a book written by Francis Taylor Piggott and first published in 1896. The book is a detailed account of Piggott's travels through Japan, documenting the flowers he encountered during his journey. Piggott was a British botanist and horticulturist who had a keen interest in Japanese flora. The book is divided into twelve chapters, one for each month of the year, and each chapter describes the flowers that bloom during that particular month in Japan. Piggott provides detailed descriptions of the flowers, their significance in Japanese culture, and their uses in traditional medicine. The book is illustrated with beautiful black and white drawings of the flowers, which were created by Piggott himself. The Garden of Japan is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Japanese culture, botany, or horticulture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
