I went to the traditional Japanese style garden 'Sankei-en' in Yokohama yesterday.
Sankeien was designed by Tomitaro Hara.
He was a wealthy businessman in the silk trading in Meiji period.
He reconstructed buildings of historic importance moved from places such as Kyoto and Kamakura in this garden,and it opened to the public as ”Sankei-en”in 1906.
It was beautiful garden, but comparing to the many famous gardens in kyoto like Nanzenji, it was not so deep impressions for me.
