Lit. Penglai rock island. The technique of representing Mt. Penglai *Houraisan –H—‰ŽR in a garden through an artificial island made of rock, and often dirt and plants. Most hourai gantou, found in a pond-style garden, are either rock outcroppings surmounted with small plants, or are earthen islands, usually with a pine tree, and often including a stone. Good examples can be found in the gardens at Rokuonji Ž­‰‘Ž› in Kyoto, and Rikugien ˜Z‹`‰€ in Tokyo.
