Jozan-en

Jozan-en is a building modeled and a reproduction of Shisendo in Kyoto - the home of Jozan Ishikawa, a military commander and literary man in the early Edo period. Jozan Ishikawa retired from samurai service at the age of 33 and after that, he studied Confucianism, tea ceremony and gained a reputation as a literary man and was involved in the creation of Shosei-en and Shuon-an Ikkyuji gardens in Kyoto. Although some garden aficionados claim that Shisendo can and should not be copied nor imitated, Jozan-en makes a good effort nonetheless.
