Shisendo, Kyoto

Shisendo is a residence
built by Mt. Ishikawa, and it is said that it is correctly called irregular and convex ka (fruit in the hole kanmuri).

Jozan Ishikawa is a writer from the end of the Warring States to the beginning of the Edo period, and is from Izumigo, Mikawa Country Hekikai-gun (present-day Anjo City, Aichi Prefecture).

The Ishikawa family served Mr. Matsudaira from generation to generation, Joyama also served Ieyasu, participated in the Osaka summer camp in 1614 (Keicho 19), and although it was the most successful spear, he was accused of violating military rules that prohibited the first battle and entered the Buddhist gate.

Go through a small gate called Koari-dong and go up the stone steps between bamboo forests.

Shisendo

It is a calm building that makes you feel wabi.

After studying under Fujiwara Kobo, Takeyama Ishikawa later served in the Kishu, Asano, and Geisho and Asano family.

When I passed through the entrance, a small garden spread out in front of me.
