Japanese Stone Gardens - YGA02056
Japanese Gardens, Book
A book entitled "Japanese Stone Gardens, How to Make and Enjoy Them" by Kazuhiko Fukuda, published by Charles E Tuttle Company, 1st edition 1970. An inscription inside shows it belonged to Robin Spencer. One of the illustrations (Flagstone Pavement of Tenju-an Garden) somewhat resembles the Carpet Path at York Gate which can be seen <a href="https://www.heritageyorkgate.org.uk/items/show/137" title="Carpet Path">here</a>, suggesting that this book may have provided the inspiration.
