茶室庭園画帖
A Japanese photographic album of tea-room gardens (chashitsu teien) compiled by Okamoto Sadakichi and published in 1916 by Issei-sha, a picture book of garden and architectural views. The four plates are rotated sideways in the scan, showing thatched or tiled tea houses set among trees, a wooden fence and stone garden elements. A designer could take from them the quiet asymmetry of tea garden layouts, with stepping stones, lanterns, screens and clipped planting arranged around modest rustic buildings.
