About Shosei Garden
Shosei-en Garden (渉成園) is a garden in Kyoto, Japan. The garden has teahouses, a hall with a Buddhist altar, and two ponds. The garden was named by Sennyo Shōnin, who used the garden as a residence when he retired in 1653 and was gifted the land by the shōgun Tokugawa Iemitsu. Sennyo Shōnin named the garden after a line in the Chinese poem Let Me Return Home Again by Tao Yuanming.
