The Lord's Garden
This week, we learn about the formal gardens of the old feudal lords.
The daimyo teien are the landscaped gardens built for feudal lords during the Edo period (17th to mid-19th centuries). The provincial lords were obliged to spend part of every year in the political capital, Edo (today's Tokyo), and their Edo mansions maintained elaborate gardens. The Edo style of garden design also spread from there across Japan. These gardens are often massive and typically centered on a large pond. Visitors would walk around the pond to enjoy the various garden features as we might in a theme park today. The gardens reflected the background, wealth and artistic sensibilities of each noble household.

During the Edo period, the lords who had to come up to Edo each year built great mansions and gardens in the city to entertain the shogun. These were the daimyo teien.
Kanji Nomura, Garden Historian.
"The lords competed to build the most elaborate gardens for their mansions. This made Edo into a great garden city - there was nothing quite like this in the world."
The daimyo teien style that started in Edo gradually spread across Japan as the lords built similar gardens in their own territories as well.
They are absolutely sumptuous.
Join us to discover the beauties inside.
