gentanryuu teien　玄丹流庭園

KEY WORD :　architecture / gardens

Lit. Gentan lineage garden. A style of late Edo period garden in the Izumo 出雲 district, Shimane prefecture, associated with the landscape designer Sawa Gentan 沢玄丹 (dates unknown). Like the closely-related *bugakuryuu teien 武学流庭園, this type of garden attaches special importance to a large flat stone called the shinpaiseki 神拝石 (see *haiseki 拝石) and thus the garden is thought to incorporate ideas of Shinto.
