This daimyō garden was commissioned by Ikeda Tsunamasa, lord of the Okayama Domain, as a place of relaxation and was largely completed in 1700. During Tsunamasa’s time, the garden was designed to be viewed from rooms overlooking the grounds. Its landscape later evolved in response to changing social conditions and the preferences of successive lords, gradually becoming more suitable for strolling as streams, ponds, and other features were added.
