I appreciate you. This garden is renowned as a dry landscape garden (kare-sansui) from the Edo period. It is believed that the garden was created in 1656, when Prince Ryōshū constructed the buildings. In front of the shoin (study or reception room), white sand is spread to symbolize the water surface. Two islands appear to float on this “water,” and three artificial hills (tsukiyama) serve as the backdrop. A stone bridge connects the hills, and at its ends stand two vertical stones, creating a scene reminiscent of a secluded mountain valley. From this point, a series of stone arrangements extends to the west. A low stone bridge connects the hills to the islands. On the eastern side of the shoin, there is a garden path with stepping stones (roji) leading to the Hassō Chashitsu (Eight-Window Tea Room). The garden also contains two notable examples of stone art: the Manshuin-style lantern in front of the large shoin and the owl-shaped water basin in front of the small shoin.
