Download or read book Divine Gardens written by and published by Parallax Press. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known to many as "the Matisse of Japan," Mayumi Oda combines traditional Japanese and Buddhist iconography with her own unique sense of color, line, and movement. In this collection, her groundbreaking artwork is paired with essays by San Francisco Zen Center and Green Gulch Farm Zen Center practitioners (including Richard Baker, Linda Ruth Cutts, Wendy Johnson, Edward Espe Brown, and Norman Fischer) who have owned, loved, and been changed by Oda's work over the years. Mayumi Oda's internationally-recognized artwork plays with traditional Japanese and Buddhist images, refiguring them as celebrations of the feminine and the natural world. Where most traditional Buddhist iconography features male figures, Oda introduces female "Goddesses" that seem to jump off the page, imbued with the vibrancy of Oda's color and line. Originally from Japan, Oda settled in Muir Beach, California in the 1970s and began practicing and painting at Green Gulch Farm Zen Center, which Oda calls her "California Buddha Field." Divine Gardens pairs Oda's artwork with essays by her fellow practitioners, for whom Oda's artwork has been a constant companion. Suitable for study by art students or for display on a coffee table, Divine Gardens captures the essence of Mayumi Oda's art and life as a Zen practitioner. The forty-five full-color works of art and twenty-four essays contained in the collection are a joyful celebration of her work and the community forged through the years at the San Francisco Zen Center.

Download or read book Sylvania Lucas County Ohio written by Gayleen Gindy and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-08-02 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join the author in reliving Sylvania’s over 180 years of history from footpaths to expressways and beyond, in volume six of an eight-volume set. With over 30 years of research, she has included every subject imaginable that helped bring Sylvania to where they are today: with excellent schools, over-the-top parks and recreation, rich beautiful homes, commercial and industrial businesses, and a quaint historical downtown that looks like it was planned by Norman Rockwell himself. This book is a treasure trove of information for the thousands who have ancestors that once lived and helped Sylvania grow through these years. Located in Northwestern Ohio, Sylvania is a suburb of Toledo, Ohio, and for many years has been known as “the fastest growing suburb in Lucas County.” A once-rural farm community between both the city and township, they have grown from a combined 2,220 residents in 1910, to 48,487 in 2010. Over a short period of time, the land has transformed into beautiful subdivisions of grand houses so that now, their subdivision names are all that remain to remind them of their once-dense forests and sprawling farmlands. No longer can Sylvania be called the “bedroom community” of Toledo because over the last 50 years, they have done a lot more than sleep.
