Japan Gardens & Nature Word Search

About this book

> Written and produced in Japan by a Japanese author — Aki Wakamatsu, published by Takikawa TOKOTOKO Kids LLC. This is not a mass-produced puzzle book: the 600-word pool was researched and written in Japan, garden by garden, peak by peak. > > 300 LARGE-PRINT PUZZLES. 600 WORDS. EVERY GARDEN, PEAK AND SEASON OF JAPAN. > > Most word-search books give you 100 puzzles about anything. This one gives you 300 — and every single word belongs to Japan's gardens and wild nature. > > Walk the whole country one puzzle at a time: the great gardens by name — Murin-an, Katsura Villa, the moss temple Kokedera — the hidden craft of dry gardens, tea gardens, ponds, stone lanterns, pruning and bonsai, the keeper's year of pines, maple and cherry varieties, koi of every pattern, famous peaks and rivers by their real names, waterfalls and clear springs, sacred mountains, volcanoes, national parks, the twenty-four sekki seasons, words for rain and wind and snow — in big, comfortable large-print 15×15 grids. > > Learn while you play: every hidden word comes with a one-line note — which garden it is, how the technique works, where the river runs. By Puzzle 300 you will read Japan's gardens and nature like a gardener. The 600-word pool was built for this book: not one grid word is recycled from the thirteen earlier volumes of this series (Japan, Onsen, Food, Festivals, Place Names, Trains, Nature, Castles, Myths, Animals, Gardens & Flowers, Seas & Islands, History & Samurai) — where those books used general words, this one uses proper names, crafts, varieties and the calendar itself. > > Made to be solved: all 300 puzzles are computer-verified in two independent ways, so every hidden word appears exactly once — no printing mistakes, no impossible grids. Full highlighted solutions are printed at the back. > > For paper and for pen: solve the paperback with a pencil, or open the Kindle Scribe edition and circle words right on the page. > > The perfect gift for Japanese garden lovers, bonsai and koi keepers, hikers, and anyone planning the trip of a lifetime. > > Inside: 300 puzzles · 30 garden & nature themes · 600 words with notes · 3,000 word placements · verified unique solutions · full answer key
