View of Murin-an Garden

Murin-an is a villa built by statesman Yamagata Aritomo between 1894 and 1896. It has a Japanese stroll garden situated on a gentle slope, with the hills of Higashiyama as its backdrop. This garden design technique, known as shakkei (borrowed scenery), symbolizes the harmony between the natural landscape and the nurtured garden.
