Synopsis
One of the delights of a visit to the Nezu Museum is a stroll through its garden, truly an urban oasis. The hilly garden has two ponds that are connected by small streams. Upon every turn of the numerous winding paths, you can see garden lanterns, memorial stones, Buddhas or Kan'non statue. Nezu Kaichia I purchased this land, which he liked for its hills and dales, in 1906. The original garden, designed in the shinzan-yakok burned during the bombing of Tokyo in World War II. Since then, it has been restored to reach its present state, the goal is a garden that expresses the original concept of creating scenes of nature .
