Descrição do livro

What if Warren Buffett’s greatest investment had been a garden?
A place where extraordinary wealth was transformed into a timeless gift for humanity.

Hidden among the mountains of South Korea, Sayuwon is unlike any other garden in the world. Created over four decades by entrepreneur Yoo Jae-sung, it is a living masterpiece where ancient quince trees, contemporary architecture, and Korean philosophy exist in remarkable harmony. Here, wealth is measured not by what it accumulates, but by what it gives back—to nature, to culture, and to future generations.

Few writers are better suited to tell this story than Yoon Kwang-jun, one of Korea’s distinctive cultural writers. For more than twenty years, he explored many of the world’s most celebrated gardens while also traveling extensively throughout Korea to visit its remarkable gardens. Along the way, he joined Sayuwon’s founder on many of these journeys, exchanging ideas about beauty, landscape, architecture, and a question that guided them both: What is a truly Korean garden?

As one of the few people who witnessed Sayuwon’s evolution from its earliest vision to its completion, Yoon offers an intimate account that no ordinary visitor could write. Drawing on decades of conversations, firsthand observations, and exceptional access, he reveals not only the finished landscape but also the philosophy, artistic vision, and human story behind its creation.

Richly illustrated with stunning photographs, this book is far more than a guide to an extraordinary garden. It is an exploration of Korean aesthetics, contemporary architecture, and the enduring relationship between humanity and nature.

Above all, it poses a question that reaches far beyond Korea:

What is the highest purpose of wealth?
