The selection for the present Album has been made from many sources, and some of the photographs were specially prepared for the purpose by Mr. K. OGAWA, by whom all the Collotypes, without exception, have been executed. The principal object in view has been, within a limited compass, to make the arrangement fairly comprehensive, by illustrating as much as possible the various types of Japanese Landscape Gardens. Descriptions of some examples given may be found at length in Chapter I. of the original work; references are also appended in the text of the present volume, which is therefore limited to a brief notice of the subject of each Plate. A few illustrations of typical natural views have been added in order to render clearer the faithfully representative character of these artificial landscapes. Tokio, July, 1893.
