Yoshiki-en
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yoshiki-en (吉城園) is a Japanese garden in Nara, Japan, to the immediate southwest of Isui-en.
Adjacent to Yoshiki-en flows the Yoshiki River (宣寸川 or 吉城川), celebrated in the Man'yōshū. According to an old plan of Kōfuku-ji (興福寺古絵図), the site was occupied until the Edo period by one of its branch temples, Manishu-in (摩尼珠院). The land became private property during the Meiji period. In 1919 the residence and gardens were laid out. The gardens have been open to the public since the end of the Shōwa period. In 2011 the garden residence was designated a Prefectural Cultural Property.[1][2][3]
