Is there a book where I can read which types of plants are common to a japanese garden. I have tons o fpictures of what theylook like but that doesn't help wiht identification.

Or cananyone suggest what I should plant in a mostly shade zone 7a garden. i just discoverred lots of moss so that part is covered.
