０．Final goal of this guidebook

We think it is ideal to provide a comprehensive guidebook for guests in advance, and to help the guests to be able to ask staffs their concern during the tour.

Although the amount of information is not enough, we would be happy if you could understand high-scarcity-value of the garden and the annex.

(５)　I-no-me: Talisman in each glass windows

Threy are beautiful

in every seasons.

I think one of the important ideas the founder

Mr. Yoshizawa Nitarou is to fulfiling all the

buildings and the garden by simbols of inviting

good lucks and talismans against evil.

The typical simbol is Chinese dragons.

You can find several Chinese dragons on

the walls of buidings, Byou-bu, and

ramma in the buildings

including the reception house.

( Biyou-bu, folding screens )

( Ramma, Open ornamental work

over the screens which form

the partitions in the house.

Morse's definition)

I-no-me pattern is one of the oldest

patterns in Japan, eyes-pattern

of wild-pig . it has been used as

ornaments in various instruments,

a handguards of Japanese swords,

bells installing in front of main halls of temples or shrines.

It is thought behaving as talismans against evil (charm against evil)

Talismans = object which you believe has magic powers to protect

you or bring you luck

= charm, lucky charm, fetish

fetish = in some culture, carved object which is considered

to have religeous importance or magical powers

Sophisticated outside door-sash

not using nails or adhesive

Kumiko, Japanese joiner, is

a unique interior for Japanese

housing with functions to take just moderate amount of light, to breeze in the

house and to give sophisticated designs for affecting the atmosphere of it.

You can find the Kumiko Sho-ji in the outside door-sash of rooms faced

to south, the entrance, and so on.

For some designs, over 100 000 pieces of wood can be used, ever single

one of them having been carved by hand by master craftsmen.
