The I-House garden, designed by famed Kyoto landscape artist Ogawa Jihei, is an oasis in the middle of Tokyo. This is the third virtual tour guided by our supervising gardener Chisao Shigemori. He will give a talk about how trees and plants in the House garden are pruned and trimmed by the gardeners of Kyoto-based Doppo-en, a landscape architecture firm that designs and maintains Japanese-style gardens around the country, including Hoshun-in, a subtemple of Kyoto’s Daitoku-ji. We will also focus on the special features of the cherry and other trees planted in our garden, appreciating the highlights of the season. Please enjoy a breath of early spring and the garden that is maintained with such meticulous, loving care.
