This paper examines the characteristic of the view in the space construction of the Saien garden and the meaning of the view in Daimyos garden in Edo city. It is resolved through the clarification of the location and creation of the views in Saien garden of the Kii Clan during Edo period. Saien garden makes use of the natural topography, in its space construction, the design of the view is strongly emphasized. The view from Bougakutei to Mt. Fuji is a typical example. The design is to cut the scene of Mt. Fuji through the frame of window. And this scenery design reminds us an ideal Chinese poetry expression. The act of viewing then changes from the stationary action of merely watching a picture to the action of utilizing the natural space to create scenery.
