Kaiuso

It is a wallpaper photograph of the autumnal-leaves scenery of the Kyoto Kaiuso garden exhibited for the first time in 100 years.

Kaiuso is a garden next to Nanzen-ji, and is the garden which those who is called Ogawa Jihei of a Kobori-Ensyu style made in 1895 (Meiji 28). It is supposed that it was origin one of the Nanzen-ji semiautonomous subtemples with no less than 700 years of history. In order that Nanzen-ji may generate the fund which rebuilds Sanmon burned down by war fire at the beginning of Meiji, it is supposed that the Seiin-an chief priest who was the Nanzen-ji superintendent of those days sold off this semiautonomous subtemple to a founder, Mr. Katsutaro Inahata, of Inabata which is a businessman and is a member of the House of Peers. Mr. Inahata orders Brook Jihei after that, and he is likely to want to make this garden made. It is that there was also the purpose of inviting in the guest from a foreign country, about this again. I think that the end is imagined in the building of the European-style building near an entrance. Although called by a name called Warakuen by Mr. Inahata's naming at first,Mr. Inahata passed away in 1949 (Showa 24), and Mr. Omiya Kurakichi who was the president of that time of TAKARA SHUZO (present Takara Holdings) which inherited after that named it Kaiuso in 1953 (Showa 28). It is said that the origin of the name of Kaiuso is coming from the language "there is something so that there may be something and there may be what [ no ] without anything" of zen. The garden of a Kobori-Ensyu style is a Tukiyama-rinsen stroll garden of the 6000-tsubo plottage which led water from the Lake Biwa canal and was taken in inside the garden. It is disclosure though again regrettable from July 4, 2005 now, although it is the Kaiuso garden exhibited for the first time in 100 years. Religious corporation "Dainichizan-Hokekyo-ji" It is very regrettable although it is because it is seized involving a certain fraud case and hung on auction. As of 2006, after auction, although it seems that it crossed to the hand of a lease-of-immovable-property company with Osaka, seemingly there is no intention to carry out general public presentation, and it has become as [ secret ] still now. It is the scenery of the autumn of 2004 that only the autumnal leaves of the Kaiuso garden were seen.
