In a career spanning nearly sixty years, Ruth Shellhorn (1909-2006) helped shape Southern California's iconic modernist aesthetic. This is the first full-length treatment of Shellhorn, who created close to four hundred landscape designs, collaborated with some of the region's most celebrated architects, and left her mark on awide array of places, including college campuses and Disneyland's Main Street.

Kelly Comras tells the story of Shellhorn's life and career before focusing on twelve projects that explore her approach to design and aesthetic philosophy ingreater detail. The book's project studies include designs for Bullock's department stores and Fashion Square shopping centers; school campuses, including a multiyear master plan for the University of California at Riverside; a major Los Angeles County coastal planning project; the western headquarters for Prudential Insurance; residential estates and gardens; and her collaboration on the original plan for Disneyland.

Shellhorn received formal training at Oregon State and Cornell Universities and was influenced by such contemporaries as Florence Yoch, Beatrix Farrand, Welton Becket, and Ralph Dalton Cornell. As president of the Southern California chapter of ASLA, she became a champion of her profession, working tirelessly to achieve state licensure for landscape architects. In her own practice, she collaborated closely with architects to address landscape concerns at the earliest stages of building design, retained long-term control over the maintenance of completed projects, and considered the importance of the region's natural environment at a time of intense development throughout Southern California.

Shellhorn set a standard of creativity, productivity, and respect for the native landscape that defused gender stereotypes--and earned her the admiration of landscape designers then and now.

I absolutely love this matcha set! The quality is excellent, and it comes with everything needed to make traditional matcha at home. The bamboo whisk works perfectly to create a smooth and creamy texture, and the bowl is both elegant and sturdy. It feels very authentic and makes my morning matcha routine so much more enjoyable. The tools are easy to clean, beginner-friendly, and look beautiful displayed in the kitchen. This would also make a wonderful gift for any tea lover. Highly recommend!

Perfect Matcha Tools at Great Price ! ❤️
Color: Green-6pcs, Color: Green-6pcs
I recently purchased this matcha tool set and was genuinely excited for it to arrive. The box includes three different tools for preparing matcha, along with the main bamboo whisk (traditionally called a chasen) and a whisk holder (known as a kusenaoshi). Everything looks beautiful, well-packaged, and thoughtfully made and a love that color !! Using the chasen really makes a difference when preparing matcha. It helps blend the powder smoothly and leaves it virtually clump-free, creating a nice, even consistency. I noticed a big improvement compared to trying to mix it with a regular spoon. The quality feels solid, and the price is very reasonable for what you receive in the set. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase — I absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone starting their matcha routine. Ohhhh …As a tip, if you’re someone who travels often, I recommend keeping the case that the whisk comes in. It’s very sturdy, and if you take it on a trip, it will stay well protected inside. 😉🍵✨
