Beattie, James / Heinzen, Jasper M. / Adam, John P.

Oscar Wilde once wrote that ‘the whole of Japan is a pure invention’.¹ This comment hints at the complex processes behind cultural transfer and transculturation between different areas of Asia and the West from the 1850s onwards.² The development of gardening aesthetics in New Zealand from the mid-Victorian to Edwardian periods showcases just how inventive, complex and sometimes contradictory Western society’s cultural engagement with the rising Asian world power could be.
