Self-description:

"Japanese Garden Dictionary - A Glossary for Japanese Gardens and
Their History. Compiled and Edited by ONO Kenkichi and Walter
EDWARDS. This online dictionary is based on the Bilingual [Japanese &
English] Dictionary of Japanese Garden Terms, published in 2001 as
the result of a project conducted under the auspices of a Ministry of
Education Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research [....] Portions of
that work were subsequently incorporated by Ono Kenkichi in a
Japanese language publication, Nihon teien jiten (Iwanami Shoten,
2004). This online compilation, maintained by the Department of
Cultural Heritage of the Nara National Research Institute for
Cultural Properties, is intended to make the English language content
of the original dictionary more widely accessible."
