Shisendo was originally the villa of ISHIKAWA Jyozan, 1583 - 1672.
ISHIKAWA Jyozan was from Anjyo area in Aichi, and was a vassal of TOKUGAWA Ieyasu.

ISHIKAWA Jyozan well served for Ieyasu, but he was received reprimands by Ieyasu at the Siege of Osaka in 1615.
Then, Jyozan decided to retire his samurai service and he built his villa in 1641. This is Shisendo.

The view from Shisendo is very calm and silent.

You will hear sound of "Shishiodoshi" or "Sozu". This sound enhances the silence.
This is very impressive.

The garden of Shisendo stretches down from Shogetsudo.
Garden looks like deep forest.

It seems to remain the atmosphere when ISHIKAWA Jyozan was living in this villa, 370 years ago.
