KOISHIKAWA KORAKUEN GARDEN
Koishikawa Korakuen Garden - A historical Japanese
garden located close to Tokyo University (who now owns the park).
The construction of Koishikawa Korakuen Garden of Tokyo
was started in 1629 by Yorifusa Mito, the Daimyo of Mito Tokugawa
family, and was completed by his successor, Mitsukuni Mito, a very
famous Daimyo in the early Edo period.
Mitsukuni adopted an opinion of a Chinese scholar and named this
garden "Koraku-en" (Koraku means "enjoying afterwards") after a
Chinese teaching of "a governor should worry before people and enjoy
after people".
This garden is full of Chinese flavor under the influence of Mitsukuni.
Korakuen was appointed as the special place of scenic beauty and the
special historic site based on the cultural properties protection law
of Japan.
All through Japan, there are only seven premises which enjoy double
appointments by this Law. They are Kinkakuji, Ginkakuji, Sampo-in of
Dogoji all in Kyoto, the trace of Nibo-no-miya in the third line of
Heijyokyou left city in Nara, Isukushima shrine in Hiroshima and
Hamarikyuu and Korakuen in Tokyo.
