    Notes & Remarks

    ■ Garden The vast garden, with a view of Higashiyama at Kodai-ji Temple, has two ponds and two corridors centered around Kaizan-do, and the atmosphere of the tower's landscape. It is known as a famous spot for autumn leaves. In Engetsu Pond, there is a viewing moon stand of Hideyoshi's love, Kamejima in the north and Tsurunoshima in the south cape, and is known as a representative garden of the Momoyama era. ■ Kaizan-do Hall An important cultural property built in the Momoyama era, located in the center of the garden of Kodai-ji Temple. Originally it was Jibutsu-do Hall, but it became Kaizan-do Hall due to the burial of Sane Jogaku Zenshi, the founder of the temple. On the ceiling of Kaizan-do Hall, members of the Imperial Palace car used by Hideyoshi and Nene were used. ■ Otamaya An important cultural property of the Momoyama era architecture, located on the east side of the Kaizan-do Hall of Kodai-ji Temple, on the middle of the Woryu corridor over Woryu Pond. A seated statue of Hideyoshi Tone is enshrined in the Dounaijin, and it is a grave of Nene under the floor. The couple's kitchen and sumidan are lacquer crafts created by the Makie master Koami Choan family who served Hideyoshi, using the technique of "Kodai-ji Temple Makie". The wall painting inside was written by Mitsunobu Kanou and a group. The title is Hamamatsu-zu (a picture of the inner team) and Kacho-zu (a picture of the outer team) are drawn. ■ Umbrella-tei A tea room (an important cultural property) built in the Momoyama era, located on the mountain east side of Kodai-ji Temple. The remains of Fushimi-jo Castle. There is no ceiling board in the room, and you can see the frame of the back of the cosmetic roof made of logs and bamboo as a fan rafter. It is called umbrella-tei because it looks like an umbrella was spread. As the name of "Funairiguchi", the entrance is presumed to have been built on the waterfront facing the pond in the former Fushimi Castle. It was connected by the Shiguretei, which was built side by side during the garden construction of Kodai-ji Temple, and the Doma corridor. ■ Shiraitei A tea room (an important cultural property) built in the Momoyama era, located on the mountain east side of Kodai-ji Temple. The remains of Fushimi-jo Castle. It is located on the south side of the umbrella-tei, and is connected to the umbrella-tei by the Doma corridor. The first floor is a two-story structure with a mizuya and waiting room, and the second floor is a tea ceremony. The three sides of the second floor are opened with a hanging door. There is an anecdote that when Osaka-jo Castle fell, people who were related to Toyotomi watched the scene.
