Modern Japanese-style Gardens Created by Painters

我们对近代在京都发挥重要作用的三位著名的日式画家所创作的园林进行了调查，得出如下结论。山本顺京：山本顺京在大津市琵琶湖上建造了一座别墅“Rokasensui-Soh”。他设计的房子和花园不仅在视觉上而且在功能上都与琵琶湖相匹配。花园是和房子一起建造的。京都的园丁元井正五郎在俊京的监督下参与了花园的制作。桥本Kansetsu：桥本Kansetsu拥有一些别墅（明石市的Kaikorohaku-Soh，大津市的Sosei-Kyo，冢冢市的Toka-An）以及他的主要住宅，京都市的Hakusason-Soh。他非常热衷于建造房屋和花园，因为他认为这是一项创造性的工作，就像画画一样。在他的园林设计中，我们可以找到他的历史文化和对中国文化的欣赏，以及他的画。但同时，他的园林是由完整的、如画的景观组成的，从这个角度来看，它们也属于现代景观园林的范畴。TAKEUCHI Seiho: TAKEUCHI Seiho在京都西郊的相野建造了一座名为“Kachu-An”的别墅。他按照自己的设计建造了房子和花园。花园由广阔的草坪、小溪、枫树林和庭外美景组成。我们可以发现花园设计和他的画之间的关系。

We investigated gardens created by three famous Japanese-style painters who playd important roles in modern times in Kyoto and got the results as followings.1. YAMAMOTO Shunkyo : YAMAMOTO Shunkyo built a villa "Rokasensui-Soh" in Otsu city on Lake Biwa. He designed the house and garden to match Lake Biwa, not only visually but also functionally. The garden was constructed together with the house. MOTOI Masagoro, a gardener in Kyoto, was engaged in making the garden under the supervision of Shunkyo.HASHIMOTO Kansetsu : HASHIMOTO Kansetsu held some villas (Kaikorohaku-Soh in Akashi City ; Sosei-Kyo in Otsu City ; Toka-An in Tkarazuka City) as well as his main house, Hakusason-Soh in Kyoto City. He was very enthusiastic with making houses and gardens because he considered it a creative work same as painting pictures. In his garden design, we can find his culture on history and admire to a man of culture in China as well as his pictures. But at the same time, his gardens are composed of full-size and picturesque landscapes, and from that point of view, they are also included in the category of modern landscape gardens.3.TAKEUCHI Seiho : TAKEUCHI Seiho built a villa "Kachu-An" at Sagano, westernsuburbs of Kyoto City. He made the house and garden built in his own design. The garden was composed of widespread lawn, stream, maple woods and beautiful landscape outside the garden. And we can find the relationship between the garden design and his pictures.
