chisen kanshoushiki teien　池泉観賞式庭園
KEY WORD :　architecture / gardens
　
Lit. pond appreciation style. A type of small garden in which the pond is viewed from a veranda or from inside a room, typically *zashiki 座敷, *shoin 書院, or a pavilion. Unlike the large pond stroll garden *chisen kaiyuushiki teien 池泉回遊式庭園, the 'pond appreciation garden' is planned to be seen from a single perspective. The so-called upper-lower two-step style garden * jouge nidanshiki teien 上下二段式庭園, such as Toukouji 東光寺, Yamanashi prefecture, or Chishaku'in 智積院, Kyoto, could be considered examples of chisen kanshoushiki teien. A hybrid of this garden is the type of pond garden which is made to be seen from a fixed point inside a building but also is meant to be strolled through. Sentou Gosho 仙洞御所, Kyoto, provides a good example of this hybrid chisen kanshoushiki and chisen kaiyuushiki teien.
