This photograph captures the maple trees glowing with fresh green leaves at Ichijō Keikan Sansō, with a large tree towering behind them. It conveys the vitality of the trees and the tranquil atmosphere of the garden surrounded by nature.Quietly nestled in a corner of Kamakura, the Ichijō Keikan Mountain Villa is a Kyoto-style mountain retreat built in the early Edo period by Prince Ichijō Keikan, son of Emperor Go-Yōzei. Its relocated buildings and garden retain the charm of bygone days. During the rainy season, hydrangeas bloom quietly in splendor, while flower hand-watering adds soft color. In autumn, the garden is enveloped in autumn leaves, making it a place where one can quietly feel the passage of the seasons.
