A garden of the chisenkaiyu style, it incorporates features of the Chinese Eight Scenes of Xiaoxiang and the Eight Scenes of Oumi and to this day provides an excellent example of early Edo Period landscaping. The name is derived from the villa of Chinese Emperor Xuanzong (685-763) of the Tang Dynasty.==Date:unknown, Place:Shiga, Photo:A.
