Sakuteiki (作庭記, literally, Records of Garden Making) is the oldest published Japanese text on garden-making. It was most likely the work of Tachibana Toshitsuna.[1]
Sakuteiki is most likely the oldest garden planning text in the world. It was written in the mid-to-late 11th century.[2] Later during the Kamakura period, it was referred to as the Senzai Hisshō, or the Secret Selection on Gardens before it acquired the title Sakuteiki in the Edo period.
