An estate and its garden

An estate and its garden

This seems to be the villa of Matsudaira Yorisato, feudal lord of the Takamatsu Clan, located in Totsuka Village (present-day Totsuka-cho, Shinjuku Ward). Okuma Shigenobu, who founded the Tokyo Polytechnic School (present-day Waseda University) in 1882, bought this villa in 1884. It is said that he re-designed the garden in a mixture of Japanese and Western styles. In photograph #5010 taken in 1904, the pond has been filled in and covered with a lawn . This photograph was probably taken by Baron Raimund Stillfried Rathenitz before the villa was purchased by Okuma.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R.
