A Study on the Technical Lineage of the Rock Composition of Japanese Gardens (I)

The Technical Relation between the Rock Composition of Ancient Tombs and Gardens at KADONO in KYOTO

Abstract

In this investigation of the rock composition of ancient tombs and gardens at Kadono in Kyoto, it became plain that the rock composition of chambertombs represented the Hebizuka, the rock composition of the Seijo-no-taki in the Hokongo-in and the dry falls in the Saiho-ji had been constructed by the same technique.
This technique had been transmitted from the embankment of the Kadono river, in the latter half of the fifth century, through the huge rock-tombs to the Heian period, from the Fujiwara family to the Sakuteiki-style-engineers and the Ninna ji-school-Ishidachi-priest. This technique had been based on the farmers lived on this Kadono area.
