It is a "walking" garden laid out in the traditional style of the Kamakura and Muromachi periods (14th-15th century). Its five tea houses located in different parts of the garden (two of them built later), and numerous natural rocks-mostly from Kyoto-artistically arranged around the pond, give the garden its special character, and the green moss growing on the stones and rocks seems to add to its elegance and dignity. The garden was designed and completed by a gardener from Kyoto after 3 years of work. </p> <br> <h3 lang="en">the four seasons</h3> <table border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center"><img src="../imgpic1/fujinohana.jpg" border="0" alt="spring"><br>Spring</td><td align="center"><img src="../imgpic1/tsutsuji.jpg" border="0" alt="summer"><br>Early summer</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><img src="../imgpic1/oohiroma1.jpg" border="0" alt="autumn"><br>Autumn</td><td align="center"><img src="../imgpic1/yuki.jpg" border="0" alt="winter"><br>Winter</td> </tr> </table> <table border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tbody> <tr> <td><a href="history.html"><img src="../imgpic2/back.gif" border="0" alt="Back,History"></a></td> <td><a href="room.html"><img src="../imgpic2/next.gif" border="0" alt="Next,The sub-drawing room,The kitchen and hearth"></a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <hr> <address lang="en">Copy Right Northern Culture Museum.
