This paper is a part of the research intends to shed light on the model of ideal scenery in Muromachi period. In this paper, we focus on Joei-ji Garden in Yamaguchi City and aim to clarify the landscape composition through on-the-spot investigation of the garden along the rout surmised as those days. We divided the whole garden into 5 areas along the route, and selected scenes representative of each area. The 13 scenes selected are analyzed by considering the arrangement of garden elements according to the line of view, and divided into 4 types: 1) wide type; 2) layer type; 3) contrast type; 4) depth type. The composition of the whole garden was considered from the arrangement of areas and types. As a result, we made it clear that the garden consist of two parts connected by diagonal line, one is south open areas from where ‘wide type’ scenes are representative, and in contrast another north passage areas provide ‘contrast type’ and ‘layer type’ scenes. This contrast parts are visually connected by ‘depth type’ and ‘layer type’ along the diagonal line from south to north.
